Calligraphy Guild and an exhibition
On Saturday the Calligraphy Guild of WA held it’s annual AGM and I now wear the hat of Secretary. On Sunday, our Chairperson (or Grand Poohbah of the Guild - her words), Gaye Godfrey-Nicholls, opened her solo exhibition. She is placed amongst the best Calligrpahers practising this ancient art today.
Her exhibition is entitled “Lyrical” and represents her visual interpretations of 33 of her favourite songs. I’m sure you can guess the Title of most of them.
(I apologise for the quality of the images, flash was unavoidable as it was after dark, and we all know that Flash & Glass hate each other!)
Some of Gaye’s prints that I’m about to frame up and hang in my studio to serve as inspiration.
So for any of you that have questions about calligraphy, feel free to drop me a line anytime. And if you’re in Perth, drop by the Mia cafe in Inglewood to see some of Gaye’s amazing work. Exhibition open until april 21st.

omg what magnificent pieces. i have a passion for calligraphy. i’m a calligrapher from way back
but haven’t calliged for years now. the first piece is truly gorgeous. all so inspiring. cheers, Fran
It looks like it has been done with an old fashioned printing press because it is so perfect. I like Puff the Magic Dragon.
Always nice to meet a fellow calligrapher Fran - must check out some of your pieces. Yes, Gaye is always an inspiration!
Diane, Gaye said “He’s got his underwear on, but not his clothes yet!”, meaning that she still has to paint his scales in, as she ran out of time.
Curiously, speculation still abounds that the song contains veiled references to smoking marijuana…..
I love your calligraphy! Especially the Love Cats! The textures and colors are so beautiful in all of these pieces!
Beautiful…
Gaye, Your pieces look amazing as do you! Great to see that you are still hard at it and doing such marvellous work! Hope alls well in your world - Kate (Kathy) Poynter
