Words Made Beautiful – centenary exhibition 2022

Words Made Beautiful logo

Our centenary exhibition, ‘Words Made Beautiful’ is now moving north and will open at the Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery on Saturday 30th April. It will run until Saturday 11th June 2022.

If you fancy having a go at calligraphy yourself, come along to one of the calligraphy taster sessions that will be held in Stockport.

If you would like to learn more about the work on display, we are running guided tours of the exhibition. 

For more information and to book a place on a taster session or a guided tour, please phone 0161 474 4453.

You can download a printable poster for your school, college, library, or calligraphy group.

In August the exhibition will travel to its third and final venue at Swansea Museum. It will run from the 5th to the 19th with the private view to be held on Saturday 6th August.  

The collection is curated by SSI Fellows and is a reflection of the 100 years of expressive lettering nurtured by the Society.  The beautiful calligraphy to be showcased is the work of SSI Fellows and Lay Members – and you will find that it is as wonderful and grand, as it is inspiring.

 You can now buy your copy of the exclusive Centenary Catalogue in our Shop.
