Calliarts - And We are Back

Dear Members and Followers,

With the gradual easing of restrictions we are back in operation though with a strict COVID-19 plan in place.
You will need to register for a place in the class to ensure you are able to participate (we don't want to have to turn you away), we are also encouraging payment of the class fee via direct deposit.

Please contact us at southscribes@yahoo.com.au to register and for banking details.

Copperplate Part 2

CALLIARTS 11 July 2020

Tutor:  Glenis Sheather

It seems such a long time since the Copperplate Part 1 Calliarts and I hope those of you who attended that workshop have been using the period of isolation to do some practice.  The opening of Sylvania Hall means we can now hold the second workshop, where we will concentrate on the beautiful capital letters of this graceful script.  While it would be advisable to have attended Copperplate Part 1 before embarking on Part 2, people who were unable to do that workshop can come along and receive some tuition on the lower case letters.
 

MATERIALS LIST

·        Bleedproof Layout Pad, preferably A4 size.

·        Elbow nib* and pen holder OR a straight pointed nib and an oblique pen holder.

·        Ink (Chinese or similar) or gouache of your choice.

·        2B or HB pencil

·        Usual Calligraphy Gear.  However, you will not need a slope board.

*Elbow nibs can be purchased at Eckersley’s.  If you are unable to buy one I will have some for sale on the day for $3.50 each.  Please have the correct money.

Hello From Us

Dear Members and Followers,

While we aren't meeting for workshops and calliarts we are still working away with challenges.

In these distancing times I sent out the dare to our members to pick up a pencil and write Hello in three different languages. It could be in graphite or coloured and the responses, I just had to share.

So from Calligraphy Southscribes Inc in Sydney Australia a big "Hello"
