The Calligraphy Group

Leader:  Sue Cornell - calligraphy@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 413345

A small but friendly group,we enjoy extending our calligraphy skills through a more experimental and creative approach to writing texts.
We use a range of scripts and have produced some very imaginative pieces both at home and during our monthly meetings.
We usually meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 10am.

8th April

Four of us met today for what turned out to be a chatting and planning meeting with no writing at all!!

We planned what work we would take to the exhibition in May and decided to show our pieces on last year’s Olympics and the work we did on Shakespeare. We will also be showing examples of fonts we use and illustrations of different approaches to calligraphy that do not necessarily fit in to the more formal ideas that people might have of calligraphy.

We also planned what we will be concentrating on for the next few months. Using the theme of Summer and links to this we are going to attempt writing on different surfaces and textures using whichever font we choose. We will write a poem/verse/quote and duplicate it on these surfaces!

Thanks to Jenny for our refreshments which are always welcome.
Next meeting is on May 13th at Sue’s.
