25.01.2022 Hello members. Gemma has once again kindly offered to teach another workshop, here is her message to us FROM GEMMA ... Hi CSV, it's me again. I feel for all of you in Victoria and just think it is a wretched situation all over again!!! Would you like another (gratis) zoom session? How about Sunday 9th August morning 10am - 12 noon on the Fraktur of friedrich Neugebauer? If people email me (gemma (at) gemmablack (dot) com I'll send a zoom invite and a handout or two. Please note this offer is for Victorian members only, as we have now entered stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne and stage 3 lockdown in Regional Victoria. We will all get through this, for now let’s enjoy having extra time indoors for calligraphy! Kristine Committee Member
25.01.2022 We had the pleasure of having Abd A. Masoud from Austria talk to us about Arabic Calligraphy. What a beautiful style of calligraphy that I know most of us would love to learn at least once in our lives. #calligraphysocietyofvictoria #csvworkshop #calligraphy #calligraphyworkshop #melbournecalligraphy ... #melbourneevent #melbourneworkshop #whatsonmelbourne See more

17.01.2022 Hello everyone, If any of you are enjoying any online workshops or activities at home that are related to calligraphy, can you please post them here. Some of us are back in lockdown for a bit longer and many are taking precautions by staying at home. Our CSV general and committee meetings remain on hold. The July ink painting workshop has been postponed too.... Missing you all. Tish CSV President
16.01.2022 How this Iraqi archaeology student is keeping an ancient writing system alive.
16.01.2022 The Calligraphy Society of Victoria is pleased to present a pointed pen workshop by one of our most popular tutors, Margaret Schmidt. Beginners welcome. This 90-minute Zoom workshop reveals the fun and quirky side of the pointed pen. Margaret will show you how combining some simple painted background techniques with a few doodles or basic drawings, and then adding her lively lettering can create a piece of calligraphy filled with energy and life. Perfect for cards, artwork or... just entertaining yourself during lockdown! Some familiarity with Italic preferred as there won’t be time to start at the beginning.

12.01.2022 More Waratah Study photos with @heidiwillisart. The waratah seemed like a complicated subject at first. But once you spend time getting to know the subject down to the tiniest detail, then the appreciation and love begins. #calligraphysocietyofvictoria #csvworkshop #calligraphy #calligraphyworkshop... #melbournecalligraphy #melbourneevent #melbourneworkshop #whatsonmelbourne #heidiwillis #heidiwillisworkshop See more
12.01.2022 We have been so fortunate to have Heidi Willis teach in Melbourne this week. Although we are a Calligraphy Society every now and then we rise to a new challenge by exploring a different world. We have all concentrated on one main subject so far which is the waratah. It has many layers of different qualities and delicious nothings (as Heidi calls it) to further explore the more we analyze and get to know this amazing Australian native. #calligraphysocietyofvictoria #csvwor...kshop #calligraphy #calligraphyworkshop #melbournecalligraphy #melbourneevent #melbourneworkshop #whatsonmelbourne #heidiwillis #heidiwillisworkshop See more

Please see details below. - A message for my Victorian friends. If find yourself looking for a little light relief while you are in lock-down, join me this Sunday 10.30am - 12.30pm via zoom. I would be happy to take you through the Fibonacci sequence and a subsequent watercolour painting thereof similar to what you see h...ere. And the best part is, it's completely free of charge. It will be more fun than anything else and you don't have to be a mathematician to attend. Please **EMAIL** me to get your zoom invitation, materials list and handouts. Please pass this on to your calligraphy friends. gemma at gemmablack dot com Note bene: this is for Australian's only at the moment. Our state of Victoria has gone into lock-down (again) and we in the rest of the country are not. So, as you see it is a little gift from me to them. If others are interested I'll put it out to other "lock-down" folk in the rest of the world soon.
02.01.2022 LITTERAE GOES ONLINE ! These days we’re teaching and learning, shopping and selling, finding ways to keep us afloat with the help of our electronic devices. So, as the pandemic forces us to spend more time online, I decided to make an e-Version of my Litterae-box that I published six years ago. This digital edition contains of course the entire original set of designs along with the booklet of comments, but as a considerable BONUS to mark the occasion, I added a file that sho...wcases a complete make-over of each of these original designs - same songs but in a totally new arrangement, as befits a worthy reissue! Good value for a sharp price ( 22): don’t we all love that? Read more about it on the shop-page of my website (www.yvesletermeletters.com/shop). And of course, as usual, I don’t mind you spreading the happy news thanks!
