<br />
But - you can't keep creativity down and we have decided to go ahead with the Herdwick calligraphy ideas and use this as the theme for our next exhibitions in late 2016 / spring 2017.<br />
<br />
Once all dates and places are confirmed I'll post the details.<br />

We also decided today to plan another couple of group outings - coming up at the end of this month at the Design Centre in Sunderland there is a Letter Exchange exhibition which we are keen to come and see. Later in the year the SSI are holding a 95th Anniversary exhibition at York Minster called Divine Inspiration which should be another great day out to look forward too.</div>

Our first tutor workshop isn't planned until June - with John Ward coming to visit us. John has been a regular tutor for a number of years now and is always great fun - and he brings sweets! So that gives us the next few meetings to carry on with our Herdwick project and see where the ideas take us.</div>

It's been a while since I've been on any other residential or weekend courses but other members in the group are still very active in going on workshops in the UK, or abroad. Last weekend Dr Manny Ling was teaching at Higham Hall so a couple of the group had attended the weekend and I've popped a picture below written by Manny - Walnut Ink with red acrylic dropped into the wet ink.</div>

Based in the northeast, Susan was artist in residence at St Peters anglo saxon church in Sunderland and has produced an amazing volume of work which she is binding together at the moment.<br />
<br />
As with our last tutor workshop we had extra visitors, Janice, Helen & Lyn, plus a previous member, Heather. The script uses a pointed nib and pressure release to get the subtle thick/thin lines. We spent the first part of the session just focusing on getting the right letter shapes before adding the pressure/release to our strokes. It's a very delicate script and it takes a lot of practice to get the balance and flow right - although we only had one day with Susan we each managed a rough layout of some text to show at the end. I can see a few of our group will be practising this script again in our next meeting.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos from the day, and a couple of spreads that Susan has done for St Peters Church.<br />

<br />
We had a lovely second half of 2013 - In October we had Marlene Grey come as our guest tutor to hold a workshop on Uncials. A favourite script of ours and one that was nice to get back to basics with. We had three visitors come to the session also from other groups, Helen, Janice and Lyn. It's always good to get a few additional people along to bolster the numbers and it shows that calligraphers will travel to us for a good workshop!<br />
<br />
Our November and December meetings were the usual in-house follow up and christmas celebrations, along with a bit of planning for 2014.<br />
<br />
A few of our members had visited the Letters after Lindisfarne exhibition also so I've posted a few of those pictures below which have been created by various calligraphers from around the UK. Susan Moor is in the process of binding these pages together and I'll have an update on that in the next post.<br />

<br />
This was Angela's first visit to our group and it was a real treat to welcome her to Penrith. We spent the day looking at Carolingian lettering - an Eighth Century script and the first to fully use minuscules. It's place as one of the most important script developments is well deserved however nowadays it does seem to have taken a back seat in workshops to the the more popular Italic, Gothic and Uncial hands.<br />
<br />
It's a beautiful looking script, developing from the roman half-uncial and it has a natural elegance to it with extended ascenders and descenders.<br />

<div>
Our next meeting is January 12th 2013 and will be our AGM meeting in the morning, followed by an in-house session in the afternoon. Most of us will probably be practising our Rustic Caps from the last workshop!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the AGM we'll review last year and confirm what we plan for this year's workshops and in-house sessions. If you're interested in Calligraphy and want to see more of what we do then you're more than welcome to come along and meet us all. We meet every month, on the second Saturday (except July & August) and have a mix of professional tutor workshops and in-house 'self help' group sessions. </div>
<div>

We were lucky to have Jilly come and visit us to take a workshop on Rustic Capitals.<br />
<br />
Now I have to admit I wasn't too keen on learning this historical Roman scrip. But a couple of our members wanted to explore it further so Jilly came and did an excellent workshop with us - and yes, converted me into appreciating the script more!<br />
<br />
There aren't many example of this script around which is probably why it's not that familiar, and unlike most hands, it requires a lot of pen manipulation - pen angles range from 45 degrees up to 80 degrees depending on which letter you're writing, and as you bring the nib down on a vertical stroke you twist the pen slightly to get a thicker 'flared' line towards the bottom serif.<br />
<br />
It's not for the faint hearted, and even Jilly warned us at the start of the day this would be hard!<br />
<br />
As usual the whole group really threw themselves into the workshop session and I think we surprised ourselves at the end results. I haven't taken many photos this time but the below hopefully gives a flavour of the script.<br />

We were also able to welcome Clare, a new member who joined us last month from the Kendal area. as a beginner to calligraphy Jilly was able to spend the day getting her used to Foundational Hand and the basics of letterform construction.<br />

<br />
I have to say the stay at Alston was superb, the food and accommodation was excellent and the location as a retreat was perfect. There was about 12 of us on the course which was a decent size and meant that we all had a lot of one-on-one tuition with Jilly.<br />
<br />
Below I've popped some photos on that show the group work over the week.
The day's involved two morning sessions, lunch, afternoon session, break followed by a free session, then the evening meal and a late session - we usually finished about 10pm in the bar with a glass of wine (and for those of us staying in the stable block where the workshop was we could sneak in a quick hour before breakfast also!!).<br />

Tomorrow a few of our group are heading off to Alston Hall for a week's residential course with Jilly Hazeldine 'Letters as Pattern' - I'm particularly excited about this as it's the first long workshop I've been able to get to.
I'll be taking a few photos while we're there so will post them up when I return!
Our next meeting is in September, we have John Ward coming to visit us again which is always a great workshop. If you are interested in joining or coming along to see what we do then drop me an email - mrstopham@hotmail.co.uk
bye for now

We also had a lovely shared buffet - chinese to fit in with the theme!<br /><br />The books each member made were fantastic - it amazes me each time how we all produce something different when we start at the same point.<br /><br />I've popped a couple of photos below to show some of the work, hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEzC2GYcj24fzuJE0vEVTwTWk7pf_MkRxh_E1zkatnqXouLWeS3-UVG8XwErNmi0ICFZ0sKi3J0KP5ZYhm7LxhhCDGyHedNqM7ygChqFpY6Pn1b9ITbRbhhhRZGQy463pyv5z4NoG01SE/s1600/100_4123.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Paper artist Paul Johnson held a workshop on pop-up books, we were creating a row of market stalls that each had a different theme - toys, flowers and clothes. <br /><br />Paul provided the templates so we could get on with the construction as quickly as possible - the hinges were all dovetail joints and so simple - just a triangle that slotted in and fixed to the paper. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalWcGGF5RlSFNuyFFdcnkFGOuF_30P0d83hdHEfxvqbJ6dEu41a-rhwiql3Tc2-d0QX_WILiQR6ndnMJ_8rP2L3nmKAgseNzhCWlxzpH60sBlQSWytxhPqNqaiiZWEVRL-_gze1b4CAU/s1600/101_3635.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhalWcGGF5RlSFNuyFFdcnkFGOuF_30P0d83hdHEfxvqbJ6dEu41a-rhwiql3Tc2-d0QX_WILiQR6ndnMJ_8rP2L3nmKAgseNzhCWlxzpH60sBlQSWytxhPqNqaiiZWEVRL-_gze1b4CAU/s400/101_3635.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513413530728712530" /></a><br />Paul's work<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfBcXO11aAYTUXxzzgSrlAeVgt56Oze4YkHkh_SvHs8_AZZ7YoYEmXg8D9tU8cLiqhBqw62_hkdIjQg8tGUx53koWsbGv1WS0c4aoVFcCtyl5Uz0obTEwuDcWL9DFo78Jhkaw96ZUA_4/s1600/101_3630.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimfBcXO11aAYTUXxzzgSrlAeVgt56Oze4YkHkh_SvHs8_AZZ7YoYEmXg8D9tU8cLiqhBqw62_hkdIjQg8tGUx53koWsbGv1WS0c4aoVFcCtyl5Uz0obTEwuDcWL9DFo78Jhkaw96ZUA_4/s400/101_3630.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513413528826657282" /></a><br />Paul's work<br /><br />We built the flower stall first, and spent some time using the coloured sheets that Paul provided to create the flowers. It was important to understand how to attach decorations to the pop up so that it all folds down correctly - I had to 'prune' my flowers so that the middle section folded properly!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBh0QGDz5rYoVUIk5QwZDTwHQOc1WDYFQe_6Arvz0mwkpFDqEC7WKRLnVs9YB9SUtKRTNFtnCN9LEtSo0m8Z2iKL4roVmCOegSb4sjill9laAQ15elOPPhgA1PTl3cNpV6kofjDBcrI-c/s1600/101_3633.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBh0QGDz5rYoVUIk5QwZDTwHQOc1WDYFQe_6Arvz0mwkpFDqEC7WKRLnVs9YB9SUtKRTNFtnCN9LEtSo0m8Z2iKL4roVmCOegSb4sjill9laAQ15elOPPhgA1PTl3cNpV6kofjDBcrI-c/s400/101_3633.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513413523514741202" /></a><br /><br />Above pic - basic construction for one of my stalls.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhslwic9qJaZlQkeBK_8O-qPgQVNsCHOUyPJqZ1qleUdEdxVYF5QW9q3q3MM-8YQgpDJopvwFJBqyQ5EvoRg2phhGr8Cwyekr69zO7lIF7ROEOB-wBNn70jj2Kc_Sx9sCqbtxecRu7e9iE/s1600/101_3648.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhslwic9qJaZlQkeBK_8O-qPgQVNsCHOUyPJqZ1qleUdEdxVYF5QW9q3q3MM-8YQgpDJopvwFJBqyQ5EvoRg2phhGr8Cwyekr69zO7lIF7ROEOB-wBNn70jj2Kc_Sx9sCqbtxecRu7e9iE/s400/101_3648.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513415332583281522" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJGVFnJguUfKuLyQZyuD-TV_L5MDXfx2DRrKIzRucyU23nkjq0lTLKFPeS48t7PD-wjOsA5ghtAifNWLDenQyf4JmBcBu-_5gGOJFlVta41WZdmaum5bQwfqDswXeKVUjE0y9UqL9uE0/s1600/101_3649.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJGVFnJguUfKuLyQZyuD-TV_L5MDXfx2DRrKIzRucyU23nkjq0lTLKFPeS48t7PD-wjOsA5ghtAifNWLDenQyf4JmBcBu-_5gGOJFlVta41WZdmaum5bQwfqDswXeKVUjE0y9UqL9uE0/s400/101_3649.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513415322713603298" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdulWm3CA6JRicZ-lbBgf2Lr39_J3FXm4Z4W1gUsjtb1DAKZZ_WpHzlLfMNZ_mJNFOqAovEF4BDzDFMHDtjY8In1JNI98RoAUDgFPw-0SZU5nrLy32jUauBWTo6zVz9k7wUAn4-12j_I/s1600/101_3650.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdulWm3CA6JRicZ-lbBgf2Lr39_J3FXm4Z4W1gUsjtb1DAKZZ_WpHzlLfMNZ_mJNFOqAovEF4BDzDFMHDtjY8In1JNI98RoAUDgFPw-0SZU5nrLy32jUauBWTo6zVz9k7wUAn4-12j_I/s400/101_3650.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513415320750383778" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPMe7ajHeDv4ThRAl2jpj30fpN5qFx3xo9JzdvLQ3His_-KSpPwNhMcJer2ljq-XJUzJzXh0o9foHrHJPvip_GDuarwButnpspHkrY2neR7yD3rdMbcBXrdJEJVtQ2Fa73dqHNyHi_sPA/s1600/101_3651.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPMe7ajHeDv4ThRAl2jpj30fpN5qFx3xo9JzdvLQ3His_-KSpPwNhMcJer2ljq-XJUzJzXh0o9foHrHJPvip_GDuarwButnpspHkrY2neR7yD3rdMbcBXrdJEJVtQ2Fa73dqHNyHi_sPA/s400/101_3651.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513415308835285378" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCfpuylBTsItnsXfEHAUqoU7x7UxKX1UOCLWaN1166hTAWWLlf3O7Td_4MS_Wy83IWviTz6FJgsV7Y6WXEqAvpyg6EkhX6Wr-0vb1aOr9LgxuuC4L55a8neRCj2wTyFD9va3ViOI5z7-E/s1600/101_3652.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCfpuylBTsItnsXfEHAUqoU7x7UxKX1UOCLWaN1166hTAWWLlf3O7Td_4MS_Wy83IWviTz6FJgsV7Y6WXEqAvpyg6EkhX6Wr-0vb1aOr9LgxuuC4L55a8neRCj2wTyFD9va3ViOI5z7-E/s400/101_3652.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513415302449194722" /></a><br /><br />It was also the ninth birthday of the group so Margaret brought cake for everyone!

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone again although as usual it now feels as though the summer has flow by!<br /><br />The workshop planned is with Terry Johnson - Presentation, layout & design. Terry is a local artist and architect so has become a regular guest with us over the last couple of years. <br /><br />Our October meeting will be an in-house follow up session (so we have an opportunity to follow on from the work with Terry) and then in November we have another local artist, Sarah Colgate for a workshop on Pen & Wash. You may remember that Sarah came to visit us last year, so it will be lovely to have her back again. That leaves us with the December meeting as a follow up to Sarah (and time to exchange our Christmas Cards!)<br /><br />Any new members are always welcome and can pop along or get in touch first for details. We meet at the United Reform Church Hall, Lowther Street, Penrith. From 10am - 4pm.<br /><br />See you there!Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01570546966043353746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765425788926573499.post-77912038633111048042010-05-16T15:53:00.004+01:002010-05-16T16:22:32.872+01:00Vellum examplesAt our May workshop John had brought with him some stunning examples of work on Vellum, the first here is a commission that Margaret Daubney produced - the client took the other version of this one.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvOQ-wdQ3oyavg_-R3V-6c-3F7u7owWxrSlBdZVMImTh-sumRO5xi8MBKwWsH1KLVDxuIv2Zip-GpucrVUDgRxkeH_ZTndSQ-lf3CGoHbJf3tJzXTgZerifnywokH3r8x5pMCuIX9MB8o/s1600/100_3298.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882927207254322" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvOQ-wdQ3oyavg_-R3V-6c-3F7u7owWxrSlBdZVMImTh-sumRO5xi8MBKwWsH1KLVDxuIv2Zip-GpucrVUDgRxkeH_ZTndSQ-lf3CGoHbJf3tJzXTgZerifnywokH3r8x5pMCuIX9MB8o/s400/100_3298.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvLTyaavMUoapqcSGH85E1OW5Vz6ZPhWlMUU8TrpFBedQ3Anz29NG6gL10KQrw4JWdTqfGrTeUAAiZojnvEVxFkWDijTIItWPnLhIbKZiHLkbjD1MWtxmd3rtUQRYtGG3gocDyo4pHKZg/s1600/100_3299.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882931244773602" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvLTyaavMUoapqcSGH85E1OW5Vz6ZPhWlMUU8TrpFBedQ3Anz29NG6gL10KQrw4JWdTqfGrTeUAAiZojnvEVxFkWDijTIItWPnLhIbKZiHLkbjD1MWtxmd3rtUQRYtGG3gocDyo4pHKZg/s400/100_3299.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9Ljz32IwpZtQ9XvPBizjSmVdUi0R1PfLayGKJlgU42sHpwXWDoNs3Ea5V8y9Xda-Bcv7VzrkQMGCKWSxcxh5hgv6yuTPyygoqHpTq4PIdCJSnHRSp7XobaFBpvslcHA8DT9KnqFYU18/s1600/100_3300.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471882934785223234" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE9Ljz32IwpZtQ9XvPBizjSmVdUi0R1PfLayGKJlgU42sHpwXWDoNs3Ea5V8y9Xda-Bcv7VzrkQMGCKWSxcxh5hgv6yuTPyygoqHpTq4PIdCJSnHRSp7XobaFBpvslcHA8DT9KnqFYU18/s400/100_3300.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Margaret had also commisioned fellow calligrapher Ann Hechle to produce this piece of work for John - it was a treat to be able to see this up close.

A series of 12 stone carving marking a year in the life of a sheep farmer, the lettering is carved by Pip Hall, a local artist to Cumbria.<br /><br />Below are some of the examples from John's stone rubbings, you can see that he traces the letterforms from the original rubbings and then uses these to develop a piece of his own work.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0eQIy1-vWyeM0IgEofD_xwI47nnMpRoaf06Zsr_SIWFT9j8mHD0P8GI73p4EGrhwyHgPa5wfYdhrG6ZsoBMEIgHowtLSDOuURfwKmEuNEANyYqoyxzPs7Keg2p_Lh1wpDFq1EIG8MUS0/s1600/100_3304.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468974315646737618" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0eQIy1-vWyeM0IgEofD_xwI47nnMpRoaf06Zsr_SIWFT9j8mHD0P8GI73p4EGrhwyHgPa5wfYdhrG6ZsoBMEIgHowtLSDOuURfwKmEuNEANyYqoyxzPs7Keg2p_Lh1wpDFq1EIG8MUS0/s400/100_3304.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKVppiULqFleeGffXbeGVs6yTSqaNN0NzE_RpVafJoMVMPkkExydxH1p56dXkKOgIalbBi7e8MBjuoIArGg190rzHBbnotelfLziRFydTVSSE0g0k7j2mLW6mxULuE-Y-s6vg0o8NNwQ/s1600/100_3307.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468974303639163522" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgKVppiULqFleeGffXbeGVs6yTSqaNN0NzE_RpVafJoMVMPkkExydxH1p56dXkKOgIalbBi7e8MBjuoIArGg190rzHBbnotelfLziRFydTVSSE0g0k7j2mLW6mxULuE-Y-s6vg0o8NNwQ/s400/100_3307.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After tracing the letter forms that John had produced from stone rubbings, we then looked at constrasting the large letters with the rest of the poem (or just part of it). Cutting the letters out and messing around with the layout is a great way to get a feel for what works, taking pics on a digital camera lets you move words around and keep a reference each time - brilliant time saver!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzaLvCUco31n2NN1G2VLF5esxxLaJ1eZ8L0mM5O_Vi-6J4kNs8v02z8I3SmNwt7JvL5ZbZCkb__ml-LoHba5iWdmlFEjmLZpDc_tjNQaK1jcLZfk8D2iQSXDWMUTGB0po-5Mxc52U32k/s1600/100_3339.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468974287783939490" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzaLvCUco31n2NN1G2VLF5esxxLaJ1eZ8L0mM5O_Vi-6J4kNs8v02z8I3SmNwt7JvL5ZbZCkb__ml-LoHba5iWdmlFEjmLZpDc_tjNQaK1jcLZfk8D2iQSXDWMUTGB0po-5Mxc52U32k/s400/100_3339.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_UeQggA9yY_yD3ckUQ947kbEb4nYb0XLCqStqBuXGe_7xvWBxtk7tt7pnG4zxvl6pxjtIJ4gq55yJKWsbJpqqdivYe4WLyx_T9EnqjDk7tOoYgi2sqwyHyYUKQHDjSVOaKFGMdw5rrk/s1600/100_3346.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468974284447417762" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_UeQggA9yY_yD3ckUQ947kbEb4nYb0XLCqStqBuXGe_7xvWBxtk7tt7pnG4zxvl6pxjtIJ4gq55yJKWsbJpqqdivYe4WLyx_T9EnqjDk7tOoYgi2sqwyHyYUKQHDjSVOaKFGMdw5rrk/s400/100_3346.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVw6fQYCfCMWpVcb34q35MlE_EkrnIvQJuU3tQ91UM9cEXMepyUefPANmtAlOvDEEZ_zgjA3v-gi5aPnylSMLVgqgrN8BsmGrwV7ZQNd6Ame9psicm7DGpPTRtbndYXZBL-lT4H8GwiVM/s1600/100_3340.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468974274210900898" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVw6fQYCfCMWpVcb34q35MlE_EkrnIvQJuU3tQ91UM9cEXMepyUefPANmtAlOvDEEZ_zgjA3v-gi5aPnylSMLVgqgrN8BsmGrwV7ZQNd6Ame9psicm7DGpPTRtbndYXZBL-lT4H8GwiVM/s400/100_3340.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />John also talked us through the use of vellum and he had brought with him some stunning examples of work which I'll add to the blog over the next week....Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01570546966043353746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765425788926573499.post-49080141588924069492010-04-14T20:04:00.001+01:002010-04-14T20:06:11.048+01:00North Yorkshire ScribesI was emailed just recently by Sarah from North Yorkshire Scribes who meet over in Yarm each month - they have a new blog so if you are interested then click <a href="http://northyorkscalligraphers.blogspot.com/">here</a> for more information.Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01570546966043353746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765425788926573499.post-26655794657096223072010-04-14T19:58:00.002+01:002010-04-14T20:04:32.726+01:00April Open Day and workshopsWe had a great day on Saturday - with a full day in the Penrith shopping arcade, talking to a few people interested in commissions and interest in joining the group!

The Poetry Path is a celebration of the hill farmer's ancient and enduring relationship with the beautiful landscape in and around the upper Eden valley. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikiZCmoZ1eIQhw-k2bDCa1WJE8LoR4781PFzdXEcb9qYGEQiPomiY88xLRyMm-qjz0d55L6QmscbFHht0slz27VN_xxqu6q9nMuDwOWsMRw8dBAtSZUzHO53XTNT3tfQEwoSkGft06oMo/s1600-h/poetrypath.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 331px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikiZCmoZ1eIQhw-k2bDCa1WJE8LoR4781PFzdXEcb9qYGEQiPomiY88xLRyMm-qjz0d55L6QmscbFHht0slz27VN_xxqu6q9nMuDwOWsMRw8dBAtSZUzHO53XTNT3tfQEwoSkGft06oMo/s400/poetrypath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448616095158873842" /></a><br /><br />Along the circular route of public paths there are twelve short poems written by Meg Peacocke which have been superbly carved into stone by Pip Hall, a lettering artist. It's a lovely walk taking you either side of the River Eden and not too long.<br /><br />We are focusing on the poetry walk in our May workshop with calligrapher John Ward which I am looking forward to. I'm not sure what we will be doing on the day yet but the letters carved are a lovely inspiration.Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01570546966043353746noreply@blogger.com0
