Words Made Beautiful logo

Come to a special exhibition
celebrating our centenary year

Following its very successful inaugural run in London, the whole exhibition is now moving north to its second venue in the Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery. It will open there on Saturday 30 April 2022.

This inspiring exhibition includes original work by more than 60 contemporary calligraphers and lettering artists and presents a beautiful reflection of one hundred years of expressive lettering nurtured by the SSI.

Words Made Beautiful brings together a display of pieces from current members and a number of seminal historical works that reveals the true breadth and diversity of calligraphy and lettering as a modern art form.
