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!

Bundles of Inspiration at The Painted Letters Exhibition

What an apt way to start of the conference...with an opening reception and display of the fine works of Faculty and Participants at the Eisemann Centre, Richardson, Texas. 

I was blown away by some of the works, and it was a real motivator for the  study week ahead.
More here abut the exhibition and the winning pieces from The Dallas Calligraphy Society:

Also on display were the colourful and varied Pony Express Envelopes;
