August Is a Calligraphy Month for Me.

Don't you love it when your month is going to be busy with calligraphic days?

August looks like is going to be one for me, I am off to two workshops and am also having a group of ladies over for my monthly calligraphy get together.

Calligraphy Southscribes, Inc. are presenting the two workshops so I'm sure if you are interested they could squeeze you in. http://calligraphysouthscribes.blogspot.com.au/

The first is Ruling Pens:

Ruling pens are wonderful calligraphic tools to experiment with, this afternoon we will be exploring the various lines and letter forms that be achieved in contemporary calligraphy.
Cost $10.00 with Helen Warren on 12 August 2017.

 The second one is Ronde with Pointed Pen:

Ronde, sometimes referred to as French Ronde, was used in France in the 17^th Century. 

We will commence the workshop using a traditional broad-edged nib. It is also planned that participants will make a small box, or at least start one, which will be decorated with the script.  $45.00 with  Glenis Sheather.

One of the reasons I'm looking forward to these workshops is because I'm not the tutor, I can sit back and just enjoy pen on paper and creating beautiful letters. I hope.
