THE ART OF MODERN CALLIGRAPHY...

I have just attended a Calligraphy Course run by The Letter J Supply. I have always loved typography and am always told how wonderful my handwriting is. So, I decided to give the art of modern calligraphy a go, and signed up to a four-hour course to develop my skills. 


I absolutely loved it! And I will continue to practice. The aim being I would love to create my own cards etc. and spend more time in the future getting more crafty!



Who is The Letter J Supply?

"Trained as a graphic designer, Joanne picked up calligraphy whilst on holiday in New York. The lessons had a great impact on her; upon returning to Singapore she felt drawn to writing with her hands, and slowly steered away from designing with the computer. It may seem like it's taking a step backwards but calligraphy has taught her so much about perseverance, becoming more human and working more with her heart than head. She believes that words are powerful and that art can change an atmosphere of a space. Currently running The Letter J Supply, Joanne makes customised pieces for clients, and retails her work at lifestyle shops in Singapore."

Joanne is great teacher and after I finished the course I realised that I have three of her brush written pieces in my flat! To learn more about Joanne and The Letter J Supply you can visit her website here:http://www.theletterjsupply.com
