A Review

2009, in spite of being a great travel year, provided everyone time for times of practice as well as plenty of time to complete various projects.

From the beginning of the year we explored various hands starting with Foundational with Sheila Waters as our mentor - via book not in person sadly! Her exquisite understanding of the form is inspirational.

We then moved onto Italic which was the main focus for the class in the second half of the year. Together with those calligraphic hands we continued the quest for creativity and the group certainly managed to forge ahead making small hand made books, decorated letters and simple letter weight designs.

We look forward to the break and reconvening in February 2010.
