Get Ready For World Calligraphy Day

Founded by Manuscript Pen Company in 2017, World Calligraphy Day on 16 August is a celebration of the wonderful calligraphy community, bringing together experts and novices from across the world, together to discuss, practice, learn and celebrate the art of calligraphy and creative lettering.

Manuscript Pen is gearing up for the upcoming annual World Calligraphy Day (WCD) on Friday 16 August and invites calligraphers, lettering artists, and creatives from around the world to join in the festivities.

This year Manuscript is launching an online campaign in collaboration with a number of talented calligraphers to encourage people across the world to get creative with their favourite tools. The WCD Challenge is a 5 day challenge which will run on Instagram Monday 12 August until Friday 16 August. Each day there will be a different creative prompt for calligraphers and lettering artists to join in with too.

If you’re a retailer you could use the free poster/ online assets and encourage your customers to get the supplies they need ahead of World Calligraphy Day and potentially be in with a chance of winning a super WCD prize.
