21.01.2022 Hi Everyone, it would be great during this time of isolation to share some creativity from around the world that we can tap into. If members have any ideas to share please let the Society know. Julie Wildman is a calligrapher and graphic designer from Chicago, USA who has started a daily post on Facebook that she has titled: I Love Letters. It’s a great daily feed for both beginners and the more experienced. So grab a drink or a cuppa and relax while she takes you into her studio and shares useful tips and some fun.
