Valerie Keevers
What Position/s do you hold at
Calligraphy Southscribes?
Secretary and
Public Officer. Past President.
How long have you been involved with
Calligraphy?
25 years
Why Calligraphy?
My love of
colour and design, words and heraldry drew me to calligraphy as a creative
outlet, when I closed my dressmaking business.
Favourite Hand and Why?
Uncial and all
forms of Italic because I find them expressive and adapt easily to whatever
words I am working with. However I use
all scripts from time to time.
Favourite Piece of Calligraphy Gear and
Why?
The flexible pen,
as I can re-create any script to highlight the emotion of the words in a piece
whether it is traditional or modern in design.
Most successful Calligraphy tip?
Practise and
more practise in the early stages of your adventure into calligraphy develops
an undying love of the fine art and all the associated arts.

Continuing
to bring this beautiful art to the attention of people, so that it does not
disappear into the sands of time, only to be lost again for hundreds of
years. By using the electronic media and
any other means to our advantage, increase our membership so that we can
influence others particularly the younger generation to see the advantage of
using knowledge that has survived for centuries and is the basis of their taken
for granted, writing skills.
