Ah yes, Tully Calligraphy serves all continents. A couple of marriage certificates for a couple in USA, for the friendliest of clients I've ever welcomed to the Scriptorium.
Tiny line-spacing requires tiny calligraphy, a tiny calligrapher and a tiny studio......

Envelopes for a June wedding

29/4/2018

1 Comment

 
Now based back in Dublin, it was a pleasure to write these envelopes for Ruth and Jan. Not only were they fabulous envelope paper stock in dark midnight blue, but I had some beautiful Dutch addresses to write also - always a nice break from Irish familiarity. 

Following some metallic silver and gold trials, we decided on an off-white to match the invites. I wish these really cool clients a great wedding, loved working with them.

Personalised Calligraphy for Molton Brown

14/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Delighted again this year to work with Molton Brown and personalising their lovely products for their festive evenings in Grafton Street and Arnott's.

The Molton Brown staff in both stores are amazing ; they are on their feet all day, always smiling, immaculately-presented and helpful to customers - I loved working with them. Customers I met have pledged to get their fountain pens out, shake them up, fill 'em with ink and start writing letters again.

Thank you Molton Brown, Paula Comparini and Noeleen Frain for a fun, festive four flourishing Fridays.

Irish Uncials at Ashford

23/8/2015

0 Comments

 
It's National Heritage Week once more! And I was delighted to be invited back to the lovely Ashford Heritage Centre, Co. Wicklow to teach two calligraphy workshops to both children and adults. We focused on Ireland's very own script, the Irish Half-Uncial, or Celtic style, and despite the rain pouring down it was excellent weather for scribes!

Many thanks to all participants. Plus to Wicklow Heritage Officer, Deirdre Burns  and to Sheila Clarke of Ashford Heritage Centre for organising. It was great Sunday of scribing!

Copperplate in Buckingham

7/8/2015

1 Comment

 
I was visiting Buckingham for an important family event and, with two days to spare I discovered the fairly new (one year old in fact) Buckingham Summer School. I had to take the Copperplate Calligraphy course, delivered by the talented Joy Daniels of Northampton Scribes, CLAS and the Copperplate Special Interest Society.

As Joy said and I always thought, Copperplate was a hand that many calligraphers avoided because of its complexity, unique tools and direction. I steered well clear of it for years...until about 2012 when a wedding commission demanded it and I quickly taught myself. Seems I was doing a number of things incorrectly and Joy's tuition was very valuable.

These images from the class from all three of us student scribes;
Thank you Joy and Buckingham Summer School!
