Patricia's Piece



One of my students in Melbourne, Australia - Patricia Barth - sent me a piece she recently did using graphite. This is not her comfort zone (her profession is calligraphic family trees) but she, like many other australian calligraphers, tries to continue studying what she has learned after the travelling "tutor" goes home. This quote caught her eye due to a friend having some financial problems.
BTW, I welcome any student work inspired by my classes, I'd love to see what your are doing!

Summer School Downunder!

I was so privileged to teach in Melbourne, Australia this June/July for an exceptionally well-trained and dedicated group of calligraphers...apparently the craft of handlettering is alive and well in the Southern Hemisphere! To my students: any other pictures you may have are welcome...I never manage to take enough!

The final product of my winter sculpture class at Florida State University....
