A fabulous five days with specialist tutors, carefully chosen programs… catching up with people from near and far not seen since last SSiW, and non-stop chatter about something we all love, lettering.
SSiW 2010
Is being held on June 30th thru to July 4th 2010SSiW 2009 Roundup
People from all over Australia and New Zealand joined the Victorians to welcome our accomplished tutors – Olive Bull from Tasmania, teaching Gold Fever (and all that bling) and Versals for the 21st Century, Christopher Haanes from Norway, teaching Italic and Italic Variations and Capitals and Capital Variations, Sally-Mae Joseph from the United Kingdom teaching Letters and Pattern and Medieval Miniatures, and Susan Skarsgard from the United States of America with Rethinking Design: Exploring Unique Book Structures for Calligraphy and ConText: letters/ language/meaning – An exploration of calligraphy in the 21st century, as a modern and relevant form.
The Gala Dinner, once again expertly hosted by Ann and Annmaree Bellman, was an entertaining evening where calligraphers gathered, relaxed and enjoyed a night with our art. Afternoon Delight on Saturday afternoon was our opportunity to browse and buy items ranging from art supplies to prints and finished works; also a great chance to relax and natter with others about our purchases.
Food For Thought followed on that evening, a casual BBQ dinner followed by stimulating talks from Sally-Mae Joseph and Susan Skarsgard. In addition, on the Thursday night prior, Christopher gave an relaxed and impromptu talk about his work since last SSiW.
