October 12 (at NEHMA): Voyager in Space

In 1951, while walking among the redwood groves in Northern California, Gordon Onslow Ford had the sudden insight that the line, the circle, and the dot were at the root of all art. Through study of calligraphy with Zen master Hodo Tobase, the artist also learned that they were the fastest lines one could make. Join us in creating artwork inspired by Voyager in Space by Gordon Onslow-Ford.
