World War 1 in Pen and Brush Ends Successfully

Well it is over and done with, done and dusted as they say. The pictures are down and the reviews are in. The exhibition was successful and with ten pieces sold, artists are happy but more importantly calligraphy was promoted and brave men and women remembered.

Welcome

Welcome to Don't Drink the Ink.

This blog will be about calligraphy, letters and words, with some books and other arts thrown in as a flourish.

So where did the title come from?

It originates from a calligraphy tutor I once had, who regularly told me "Don't Drink the Ink" during a calligraphy course. I was slightly perplexed by this statement but can faithfully say I never did drink the ink though it was first thing that came to mind when I was looking for a title for the blog.

So, the first post is conquered and I'm off to a start. Please return for the next.
