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 September
5 of us were at Jenny’s today playing and experimenting with paint, textures and techniques to produce backgrounds for our future writing. It was very enjoyable once we just relaxed and went for it!!
As three of us have now attended a course on Modern Calligraphy, we shared what we had learnt, the nibs and materials we used and the ‘rules ‘ to make it an easy font to use.
Although it looks as if it should be easy we have all struggled with it in the past, so we are going to concentrate on it again for this term. The topic will be an inspirational quote or piece of text.
