The association

Our aim at CIAC is to promote handwriting and letterpress printing.

Freehandwriting, as developed by Monica Dengo, where the free movements of the hand are important as a gesture of self expression in themselves.

Letterpress printing, based on Amos Paul Kennedy's ideas about art as a natural, spontaneous and ethical process.

We also organize classes in: Handwriting, historical latin calligraphy, creative book art, bookbinding and many other events.

Services

Handwriting for children, special calligraphy works, members services.
