Welcome to my Website
As a Calligrapher I have always enjoyed the marks made
by
the pen, the shine of the wet ink upon the page, the feel of the sharp nib
against the texture of the paper; the making of a fine page of lettering.
Calligraphy
is an art
that connects the physical and the
mental. There is a joy in the making and a contemplative aspect to the art
that is calming and stilling in this busy world.
We rely so much upon
electronic text and voice, that the handwritten word is now a rarity. In
much the same way that scribes were called upon to write and record in books
and scrolls I too can design unique and personalised hand written lettering.
A poem, family tree, invitation, letter head design can be given an
individual and unusual treatment unique to your own requirements.
I trained at Reigate School of
Art and Design, in Calligraphy, Heraldry and Illumination in the early
1970’s. Since the early 1980’s I have built up a reputation across the
country teaching adult education classes, residential summer schools,
primary school and calligraphy society workshops.
An inspiring calendar of workshops is available
throughout the year where small groups can be taught, enabling individual
help for all abilities. Or if you prefer there is a course of postal tuition
available where you can learn the art of beautiful writing,
proceeding at your own pace and in your own home and if you are stuck for a
present, why not send a voucher for a place at one of my workshops!
