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.

9th June

Four of us met to compare work we had done at home. Jenny got the gold star as she had spent a lot of time practising and writing out a poem in the uncial font. She had also written the word ‘shadow’ in a range of ways, using two pens/pencils fixed together. We were all very impressed!!!
We spent the rest of the time experimenting and trying to produce something presentable🤪

In July there will be no meeting as some of us are going to attend a workshop on ‘modern calligraphy’. August is our month off so our next meeting will be on Sept 8th when we will be making some backgrounds for our work and planning next term’s projects.

It’s been a busy year and we should be really proud of what we have achieved. Roll on next year!!
