Reflections looking back.
The calligraphy pieces in this video are from the 2002-2003 yearlong calligraphy course, 26 Seeds, A Year to Grow, with Reggie Ezell. Looking back at these pieces after so many years was a surprise. I had forgotten how much work we did and the diversity of styles we explored. How our skills built slowly and steadily each month, keeping it fresh and exciting with the motivation of progress. There’s a huge difference when you have a caring teacher who shows you how to do things in person and provides feedback on the spot, always encouraging and positive. Plus, to be honest, there’s a
performance aspect in an in-person class with a small number of students who care about each other, sharing our passion for lettering. There was no way of knowing back then that this learning format was about to change
drastically in the next few years. That Zoom would come into our lives due to a worldwide pandemic, and we’d be separated and have to learn behind screens, but we were grateful for it as it opened up opportunities worldwide.
But did we appreciate the golden age of each other’s close-knit company? It was a special time that I am so glad I was able to participate in. The time together with classmates created friendships that lasted decades. It was great
to revisit the experience through these videos. Thanks, Reggie!
