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 Our next exhibition at Ilminster Arts Centre will be from 2nd to 22nd May 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. |
*** CANCELLATION *** We regret the workshop with Eva Boston Exploring Watercolour on Saturday 21st May has been cancelled due to the tutor's ill health. We wish her well, and will try to re-schedule again for next year. The 21st May will now be an Untutored Practise Day for any who wish to attend, and Gillian King will be available to teach our new beginner members. We have a full programme this year, (see our web page Programme 2022). We look forward to welcoming newcomers, and helping beginners who wish to take up this absorbing skill. To book any workshop, please contact our Secretary Bee Ottway on 01458 830172 or email barbaraottway@gmail.com, or use the form on our "Contact Us" page. Our Calligraphy Word of the Month for the next meeting in May is "Jubilee" ~ to join in the forthcoming royal celebrations! We hope those attending the meeting will bring their efforts for us all to admire. The Word of the month in April was "Bubbles". There were 3 submissions, which are shown below. Well done all!
