Canberra Calligraphy Society Exhibition 2012

On Friday 19th October the annual exhibition was opened.  Because I am President of the Society I gave a speech.  There was a huge crowd at the Belconnen Arts Centre.  There are three concurrent exhibitions in their artspace:  Handwritten, Handbound;  ReConnection; and A Touch Naive.

We spent some of Tuesday organising our pieces into 'categories' of sorts suitable for hanging and we created a frieze from 12 x 12 cm art squares submitted by Calligraphy Society members.

During the rest of the week some CCS members, bookbinders and staff from BAC set up the rest of the exhibition.

It is a great combination:  calligraphy and bookbinding.  As I said in my speech the two crafts rely on each other.  Calligraphers write in the handbound books.

If you can get along to the exhibition it is running until 11th November.  The artspace at Belconnen Arts Centre is well lit with natural light and all exhibits look fantastic.

See the details here for more information.

Sunday 21st October:  I visited the CCS/Bookbinders again and demonstrated some Celtic Capitals.

In truth Pam and I did more talking than writing and we talked to visitors. 

Vicki, from the Bookbinders set up her table to demonstrate some bookbinding and we ended up doing more talking!!

3 calligraphic pieces have been sold. 
Funny thing though ...... I wanted to buy Carols Butterflies piece, went to the front desk, and a lovely lady had just paid for them!    #*/!@#%  At least it has found a good home.














What a beautiful space in which to demonstrate!

My piece "318", a poem by Ogden Nash about the number of ribs a snake has.  Very cute.
