Calgary, Oct 27–30, 2025
Ever look at your lettering and feel like it’s missing something?
Perfect strokes and polished script, but it still looks incomplete?
Without borders, your beautiful work just floats—like a gourmet meal on a paper plate. It feels unfinished.
And clients notice.
Even pros with years of experience can look amateur without proper framing.
The fix?
Royal Borders—a system based on centuries-old calligraphy techniques used by royal court scribes.
But simplified and modernized for today’s artist.
Why this week will change your life
You’re not just signing up for a conference.
You’re stepping into a week where your creativity stretches, your confidence grows.
For four days, you’re surrounded by people who speak your language...
People who get it. People who get you.
You’ll learn from masters whose work you’ve admired from afar, and create pieces you’ll look at later and whisper,
“I made that… I actually made that.”
This festival will reveal the heights you can reach when you channel your creativity and allow it to flow.
Expect breakthroughs. Expect laughs. Expect to leave with lifelong friends.

"Inspiring!"
" I wanted to share my appreciation for the fantastic Western Calligraphy Conference. The calibre of the world-class instructors was incredible. Every class was energizing, inspiring, and deeply enriching. I also loved the inclusion of the art stores, which added so much inspiration and creative temptation. The heart of the experience for me was the amazing community you brought together. The conversations, the shared enthusiasm, and the kindness of everyone involved made the conference feel incredibly special.<br><br>
Thank you for all the heart, thought, and passion you put into this event." - Joleyne M.
