26 Seeds: Reggie Ezell's Year-long 2012 Workshop The year long course is an extended sequence of classes that offer continuity in the fundamentals of calligraphy: a structured development of letter forms, integrating materials, techniques, and design.

IAMPETH Convention, 2012 The 63rd Annual IAMPETH Convention The Hilton Milwaukee City Center, Milwaukee, WI Cutting edge technology is used for workshops, such as the Dukane digital projection system.
