My Page

I have a Facebook Page.
Yes, I know, welcome to the 21st century! but sometimes I am slow catching up. I would love if you checked it out HERE then liked and shared it....but only if you want to.

Nice Envelopes

Congratulations to Galway on winning the bid to host The European Capital of Culture 2020 . Exciting times ahead creatively  for the whole western region.

Surprise goody bags for a class I had.

 And is there anything nicer than receiving snail mail with a nicely addressed envelope? You can see the paints and brushes have been set aside while I enjoy myself with nibs ink and all thing calligraphy.

Save The Date

I am so excited to be able to announce the date for my Calligraphy Workshop in Ennis, Co. Clare.
Wednesday 21st September check out Glor Listings Here for details and booking. Some more dates and venues to be announced shortly. Pop over to my Instagram for other news on this. There will also be a Facebook page "EnjoyCalligraphy" coming shortly with updated news of the workshops and booking details.

Modern calligraphy

I can't believe that I have not posted since February! where does the time go? I have been busy with a few interesting creative projects and one in particular I want to share here.
Modern calligraphy, it is so popular in The States and the U.K. but I have heard nothing about it here in Ireland so I plan on changing that. In the autumn I will be running a series of half day workshops on Modern Calligraphy, I will post dates and venues here when the full list is complete, They will start mid September and will be mostly in the West but I will travel further afield if there is demand. Perhaps your Book, Golf, Knitting...Motor Bike group would like a workshop?, contact me and I can arrange it. I recently heard of a hen party doing a printing workshop so why not calligraphy? It is an ideal workshop for brides/grooms-to- be as they can address their invitation envelopes or write their place cards with beautiful script. No experience is required and I will supply all the equipment which you will bring home afterwards.

Lots of lovely nibs and my favourite Oblique pen holder.

Spring Arrival.

We have had some beautiful bright sunny days in the past week and the garden is awakening after its winter sleep.

Rain, rain and then some more.

It has been raining....allot. There has been so much rain that many areas are suffering severe flooding and it is to continue for a few more days. What hardship for all those families that have had their homes destroyed especially coming up to Christmas. I know if my washing machine leaks the mess it can make so the clean up required after flood damage is mammoth and many affected, had only recovered/replaced or rebuilt after the 2009 floods. My heart goes out to all affected by this weather event.
