Inga Dubay, Rock Star?

[dms525]

One project of the Calligraphy Initiative, a program of the Cooley Memorial Gallery of Reed College, is re-introducing italic writing instruction in the Portland, Oregon public schools. Inga Dubay is providing some of this instruction. Inga, of course, is the co-author, along with Barbara Getty, of the popular handwriting improvement book, Write Now. The following is from an email sent to the Cooley Gallery Eduction Director by a participating elementary school teacher:

 

Please forward to Inga, I don't seem to have her email.

Gregory and Inga,

I started calligraphy with our new edged pens last week, and it was a wonderful experience! I did it with both of my classes, so about 50 kids, and you could hear a pin drop they were so focused and engaged. I showed one of Inga's videos - couldn't get the first video to load so I took them through family one. I had no idea what an impact this would have on them - they love it! Today 3 kids showed up with their own pens. They were very impressed with Inga's skill, and asked if she was a celebrity. I told them that in calligraphy circles she was an A-list rock star!!!

Thank you, thank you!

Inge is indeed a very talented and accomplished calligrapher and teacher.

As I hate rock, to describe me as a "Rock Star" would be an insult, not a compliment
