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 April
An interesting session today as some members finished their work on Shakespeare while some moved on to the next topic of the Olympics.
The font called ‘ gothic italics’ is one that we are practising, using thin pointed nibs instead of flat-edged/wedged nibs.
The idea is to write out the oath taken by the athletes in a style of our choice. Looking forward to seeing what we produce.
Next meeting is at Caryl’s on May 14th.
