The Calligraphy Society of Victoria in
association with the Carmelite Library is pleased to present Patricia Lovett
MBE. If you are in Melbourne on Friday the 29th of December you may
like to visit the Library for a talk on calligraphy.
Patricia Lovett is a practising calligrapher and
illuminator and a world-renowned authority on the practical aspects of how
manuscripts were made. ‘Beautiful writing’ has been around for millennia and in
her talk Patricia Lovett will consider what is beautiful writing, from the
first women’s handwriting in the UK to artworks produced within the last few
years. On the way she will take in one of the world’s greatest treasures, the
Lindisfarne Gospels; how medieval manuscripts affect us today; and how
calligraphy can interpret mathematics, politics, and typography.
Patricia will have her books for sale and will
write in names calligraphically, as well as sign them.
Venue: The Carmelite Library, 214 Richardson
Street, Middle Park
Time: 2.00 pm Friday the 29th of
December
Cost: $10, light refreshments will be served.
