Calligraphy Again

Well we are back to the Gauteng madness. Fortunately we have plans for creative outlet. 

The Calligraphers in the Thursday classes will work on the letterform, working towards completing a book.

I am participating in a correspondence course with Heleen de Haas and although I've been away I've thoroughly enjoyed the interaction and challenge of being led through a new view of calligraphy.

Saturday morning classes will commence after the Easter weekend.

Penfriends Studio

The Thursday morning group is busy with the Foundation hand which is so elegant and regal. From pencil skeletons to penwritten caps, everyone is working to find that dance of the pen.

Thursday afternoon girls are flourishing with Italic. The charm of this hand is once you have it imprinted there are so many variations.

With Carl Rohrs joining us in South Africa in July everyone is honing their calligraphic skills. The Johannesburg courses are fully booked and we are waiting with pen poised.
