June Calliarts - Gotta Get Gothic

Dear Members and Followers,

Join us on the 10 June to visit or revisit Gothic calligraphy with Valerie Keevers.

Gothic calligraphy in general is a style of calligraphy that has been around since the Middle Ages, and is often called "Blackletter" and while there are variations on the hand, it is a very ornate letter form. It is most recognised as the mast head for the Sydney Morning Herald.
