Memphis Calligraphy Guild | Gallery 1091

Kacky Walton talked with Peggy Kunkel from the Memphis Calligraphy Guild, a non-profit society organized to promote the study, practice, and appreciation of calligraphy and related arts.

Works by Guild members will be exhibited this October at WKNO’s Gallery 1091, showcasing this art of beautiful, stylized, and elegant handwriting and lettering using pen, brush, and/or ink.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
