is a non-profit organisation aiming to encourage, assist and extend the craft and art of calligraphy and to maintain the highest standards of writing whilst having fun! Membership
The Guild was formed in 1982 and our members’ skills range from students to professional calligraphers and teachers. Members come from all walks of life – we have graphic artists, printmakers, woodworkers, scientists, hi
storians, artists and architects as well as hobbyists. Meetings
We meet once a month from February to November at the Mount Claremont Community Centre in Montgomery Crescent, Mount Claremont. During the meeting we have a library access time where members can borrow from our extensive range of calligraphy and craft books. We have a short general meeting followed by a talk or demonstration, a show and tell and a practical hands-on calligraphy session. Exhibitions
The Guild endeavours to exhibit members’ works as often as is possible. All members, regardless of experience or skill may enter work in our exhibitions. As well as our group exhibitions, the Guild encourages the calligraphy display at the Perth Royal Show every year, by sponsoring the calligraphy section prize money and demonstrating calligraphy. Workshops
The Guild regularly holds workshops for members and guests alike with subjects ranging from calligraphic hands, techniques for decorating backgrounds, digital calligraphy, colour and media. We are fortunate to have national and international experts visiting us to deliver workshops and lectures – a wonderful opportunity to meet and learn from the best calligraphers in the world.
