Introducing the tutor: Janelle Macgregor – Calligraphy Tutor since Semester 2, 2016
Tuesday mornings with my fabulous class is a great way to start the week – I’m excited to see their finished pieces and new ideas they bring to Show and Tell.
I took up Calligraphy in 2011 and first came to the Centre in 2013, to Truda Austen’s class. Last century, I was a secondary school Art teacher, interested in Art History and Design. My calligraphy passion is medieval manuscripts and illuminations. I love colour in calligraphy, and my quilting hobby is another way of playing with colour and pattern and design.

Enrolment Officer –
This Semester, the Calligraphy Skills and Project class has reached back to ancient times, to work on the Roman or Trajan hand that was honed into ancient monuments using chisels and hammer instead of pen and ink in the second century AD. This hand has not been visited by the group since 2016 so most of us were very rusty. Now that we have reconnected, however, and are aware of the rules, we are experimenting with breaking them. This involves being creative and compressing or extending the letters, applying weighting to some sections of a letter and experimenting with spacing, size and colour.
Our wonderful teacher, Janelle, has challenged us all to try to do something we have never done before in our work. Our projects for this semester focus on “The Alphabet” and/or a Calligram. It will be interesting to see our individual interpretations of these in the Display Cabinet later in the year.

CALLIGRAPHY is essentially the art of creating beautiful lettering using pen, ink, brush or other writing instruments.
What a wonderful way to start each week!
Under the tutelage and guidance of Janelle, newbies and experienced alike, toil to create masterful pieces that inspire and bring lettering to life. During the two hours each week, heads are down, brows are furrowed and creations are planned and designed. These calligraphy pieces will be displayed at our Open Day in September and we are looking forward to sharing them with everyone.
