Dear Members and Followers,
Saturday 9th August is our next meeting from 10am to 12pm. All input from our members is always greatly appreciated. From 1pm to 4pm is our Calliarts time with this month being quill cutting. Brush up or learn, beginners and more experienced welcomed. Or just practice your calligraphy. All welcome.
Quill Cutting:
If Vellum is the ultimate surface for a Calligrapher to write on, so a Quill is the ultimate tool to do the writing with. This mini workshop will allow you to cure, cut, and shape your very own writing instrument, straight from the middle ages. I will supply the feathers, but you need to bring:
A small cutting mat. A craft knife with snap off blades (please not a cheap flimsy one, but something a bit more substantial, although not as heavy as a Stanley knife) A crochet hook. Dry & empty aluminium drink can. Tin snips or scissors.
