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.
A big thank you to the wonderful team working tirelessly in the background to ensure that it comes to pass – Julie Chaney, Sharon Shaw, Vivien Lunniss, Nikolay Valchev, Alma Swan, Cindy Shaw, Janet Smith and Judith Porch.
