Dear Members and Follower,
14 March sees our AGM role around again.
Like all groups we only survive by the generously donated time and skills of its members. We are losing some of those skills this year and need others to fill the roles left vacant. Can you help?
After lunch we have our second Calliarts afternoon, this time we are getting you organised for Easter with some Japanese Paper Easter Eggs. Sounds interesting doesn't it?
And finally this will be my last post as the Blog Mistress for Calligraphy Southscribes.
I am taking over the Treasurer's role and hopefully while I am in the counting house, someone else will be exploring the world of calligraphy and sharing it with you on our blog.
So thank you for stopping by and reading what we and the world of calligraphy is up to. But continue to call in for more news. Regards, Cathy!
Calliarts and Modern Uncial
Dear Members and Followers,
Saturday 14 February was our first meeting and Calliarts afternoon for the year. Yours truly had the pleasure of sharing my version of Modern Uncial with a group of members and a new recruit. Demonstrating on the board and helping everyone with their ovals, the time just flew by and lots of great letters were lettered.
