For the first time last year the calligraphy group showed their work at The Newbridge Arts Trail
 at The Minerva Clinic , 8 Combe Park, Bath BA1 3NP
We had a great time. meeting about 200 people and talking to them about calligraphy, as well as doing some demonstrating , and letting people have a go!
In August 2014 we showed our work at The Bear Pad cafe on the Bear Flat, and now have a new member of the class.
After an advert in the LOCAL LOOK- we now have a class of enthusiastic new calligraphers.
We combine laughter with letters ,create lovely things, make new friends so give it a try.

PictureThis is a selction of the poems of Theocritus, a man frm sicily who later moved to Alexandria and lived less than a hundred years after Alexander the Great. The poems are in the voices of ordinary people of the period and often sound surprisingly modern. The style is highly colloquial as friends and lovers chat and moan. They are translated by Fred Beake (who lived for many years in Bath and founded the Bath Writer's Workshop). They are illustrated by me and beautifully printed by Philip Kuhn of Intinerant Press. It is a small "Artist's" edition of 30. each signed by the translator and the illustrator, and is available for £30 post free, from R.F.Beake Flat 4, 29 Crownhill Park, Chelston, Torquay, TQ2 5LW. Cheques made out to R.Beake
