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. Meetings are held in Rockwell Green Village Hall, Popes Lane, Wellington, Somerset TA21 9BU. Our meetings are open to members and non-members, but booking is essential. We welcome new members who would like to take the opportunity of developing their calligraphy and exploring what is possible in this absorbing skill. Many of our workshops are suitable for beginners; please enquire using our contact form if interested, or click on the email icon at the bottom of this page, and we will phone you back. You can be assured of a warm welcome with plenty of encouragement and support. EXHIBITION Regrettably, our main exhibition at Ilminster Arts Centre has been postponed to 2023. Membership fees for the year commencing January 2022 will remain at £25. Tutored workshop days will be £30 for members, and £40 for non-members. It was lovely to meet Josie Brown again for her November workshop on Mouse Roman lettering. Always such a pleasure to see her, and the day was very enjoyable. Some of our efforts are shown below. |
Next Meeting: 11th December 2021: Untutored Practise Day with AGM We will have a brief AGM followed by a normal untutored practice day, with an early ending at 3pm. It was decided that due to coronavirus safety issues, a shared Christmas lunch should be cancelled this year, so just bring your usual packed lunch. Mince Pies might be available! We have a full programme for 2022, (see our web page Programme 2022) and we look forward to welcoming newcomers. We can help beginners start this engrossing art form, please contact us for information. Follow us now on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/westcountryscribes |
