Lin Kerr Workshops

We have just completed 10 days of fantastic, creative calligraphy workshops with Lin Kerr from England. Lin is an 'old' South African and returned to delight us with inspiring workshops.

From colour to design, black and white with Ben Shahn and Herman Kilian as inspiration.

The Cape gave us perfect weather and in many instances we melted as we wrote. We all inspired each other as we painted, swirled and cut.

Here are a few images to tantalise and inspire.

One of my favourite Ballads by Leonard Cohen: Ben Shahn style

An 'E' in the style of Adolf Bernd

Three 'old hands': Heleen, A-M and Lin

It is always an insporation to have an 'outside' calligrapher visit us. Thank you Lin
