[Glaslyn] LW calligraphy class

[Sue Rogers]

The next Lindenwood scribal meeting will be Sunday, April 21 at my house
from 1 to 4 pm.  Lady Lete Bithespring will be teaching an introduction
to calligraphy, so come and learn how to do period style lettering.
Please bring any materials you may have.  Lete will be teaching the
basics with an introduction to a Gothic hand.  Variations on this hand
were widely used over several centuries, primarily from about 1200 to the
late 1500's, so this would be suitable for use with a variety of
illumination styles.  Lete has taught calligraphy mundanely for a number
of years, and has studied with many famous scribes, so I'm sure she has
lots of good information to share with us.

If you need directions to my house, please call or email me.  I have
posted them several times lately, and won't clutter up the list unless
you need them again.  Light refreshments might be served. Hope to see
you.

Also remember that the Steppes scribes guild is having a very special
meeting in April.  On Tuesday April 16, we will meet at 7.15 at the Greek
Orthodox Church in Dallas, on the SW corner of Hillcrest and Alpha (just
north of I-635).  We will be treated to a very informative discussion of
icon painting and symbolism and a tour of the spectacular iconography
that decorates the church.  Last year we got a preview, before the
painting was completed, and it was awe-inspiring (yes, I know that is its
function!  And it works.)   Please come.  The styles and techniques used
today by the iconographers are very similar to period works, so this
should be very informative and relevant.  More details will probably be
posted soon.

Yours in service,
Suzanna, the Herbalist, LW MOAS
