Welcome to the West Country Scribes website  
We are a small and friendly calligraphy group who meet near Wellington, Taunton, Somerset, aiming to develop our own skills and encourage calligraphy locally.  We are affiliated to the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society [CLAS].

We hold regular workshops through the year [see 2017 Programme], and we exhibit our work every alternate year.  Our next exhibition will be held at Taunton Library in October 2018.
​
We welcome new members who would like to take the opportunity of developing their calligraphy and exploring what is possible in this absorbing skill.  You can be assured of a warm welcome with plenty of encouragement.  

Our last workshop was a very stimulating day with Rachel Yallop who demonstrated pointed ruling pens, cola pens and folded pens.  (Some examples of our learning curve below)
