My lovely student Rebecca (pictured) created this gorgeous sign and beautiful handwritten placecards in copperplate script for her sister’s wedding earlier this month. Proud teacher moment!

I'm back at my desk after the Easter break and gearing up for a slightly slower spring/summer term than normal as my eldest is sitting his GCSEs and I'm on revision watch! #bringonsummer

[Creative Calligraphy @CreativeCallig]

Happy Easter! I'm away from my desk for the next two weeks. See you on the other side!

If you're on my mailing list, this
month's newsletter has landed in your inbox. There's a
lot to catch up on, seeing as I neglected to send an
update out in March. 🤭

The calligraphy cupboard shelves are bulging with new books thanks to the International Research Centre for Calligraphy at @sunderlanduni - fortunately I have three calligraphy groups to share these donations with! 📚
