Master-membership
It is the aim of the Finnish Calligraphy Society to provide and maintain high quality standard in the calligraphy skills and to acknowledge this by giving the honorary titles of Master Calligrapher.
The annual meeting of the Finnish Calligraphy Society approves the Master Calligraphers proposed by the board of directors.
Each member of the Finnish Calligraphy Society has the right to apply for the Master Calligrapher title by demonstrating that he/she has the sufficient knowledge and skills on Calligraphy. The Board of directors of the Society has defined the requirements on knowledge and skills that must be filled, and they have gained a general approval in an annual meeting in the first years of our Society being active.
