Exhibitions

For us, letters are intoxicating. This year we explore our roots with the abecedarium; from ‘A’ to ‘Z’ (originating only as majuscules in approximately 7th century BC in Italy), it has changed continually. Our exhibition showcases the rich variety of ways we represent our magical alphabet through a blend of artistic personalization and historical representation. 

Commemorating our 50th Anniversary, we are going gold! Making plans for one of our biggest exhibitions, we are excited to feature our members' expressions using gold in all its various displays: gilding, metallic markers, gold pigments or substrates. It is sure to be spectacular.

 In the year of pandemic recovery we are all ‘bracing’ ourselves as we swing back to some normalcy, or what we might feel is our new normal. Born of the release

from constriction, this year’s exhibition is inspired by Art Nouveau’s ‘Whiplash’ where a flow starts in one direction, then randomly opposes it. Embracing the unruly lines of nature, we adopt the love for botanicals as Alphonse Mucha or William Morris envisioned.

Where the East met the West from the first century BCE to the 1450s CE, the calligrapher's paper predilection began its travels from the Far East to the Middle East and finally to Europe and the rest of the world. 

 With the recent shock to our sociability, we celebrate the coming together of many people through the trade of paper and ink. In recent times, we've been transporting via digital roads, but we are so excited to be live once more. Dreaming of aromatic spices and banners of rich and vibrant textiles, we are intoxicated by an array of exotic impressions and colours. 

 We hope to offer a glimpse . . .
