Travelling in Lockdown
Dear Members and Followers,
Yes, you read correctly, travelling in lockdown.
We were given the challenge of creating a piece calligraphically of a place we would like to visit and what we would do or see there.
While we cannot travel at the moment we can sure dream about it, here are our first trips:

Swing Cards - Last Calliarts for the Year
Dear Members and Followers,
A very enthusiastic group of calligraphers gathered in the hall for the calliart swing card afternoon.
Glenis Sheather was the tutor.
Glenis gave the group the measurements of the outer part of the card, then the insert measurements.
The outside part of the card was a heavier cardboard whereas the insert was a lighter paper.
Then a part had to be cut out of the outer part of the card, so that when the two parts were put together,
a picture of your choice (usually an old Christmas cut to the desired size and shape) could be added.
Some people in the group got everything together really well, yours truly had a few problems but was very
surprised and delighted that my card turned out well for a first attempt!.
Pictures were taken of the cards for show and tell and some masterpieces were exhibited.
Thank you Glenis for your patience, and for teaching us, how to do these beautiful and eye catching cards.

Calliarts Report
Dear Members and Followers,
13th June
18 calligraphers met at the Sylvania hall for a calliart session, of the art deco style monoline script.
Our tutor Glenis Sheather showed us various advertising posters showing the art deco monoline script,
and patterns, which can be used with the script.
Then Glenis demonstrated how to hold the pen correctly and went through the alphabet letters, using the speedball pen stressing that you do the letters slowly, so you get the correct finish on the letters and no sharp endings.
We all received 6 exemplars showing the letters and patterns.
All the class were very enthusiastic to begin. There were a few ooh's and arr's when we began, but the end result at the show and tell was very impressive.
Thank you Glenis for a very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon.
