Featured on the cover of the May issue of Quillo Talk is a work by Jenny Fowles. After attending Thea’s workshop on Uncial Variations, Jenny produced this piece using Ecoline inks to produce the look of watercolour as the background for her Uncial practice piece.
‘Quillo Talk’ is the monthly newsletter of the Calligraphers’ Guild of WA and distributed to our members as a PDF by email. Country and city members who are unable to attend meetings rely on the newsletter for up to date information on the happenings within the Guild. The newsletter also provides information on upcoming workshops, exhibitions and other calligraphy based articles and events.
The newsletter is also distributed Australia and worldwide.
Each month the front cover is designed by a different Guild member giving all members a chance to use and display their creative talents.
Quillo talk has been published now for over 30 years. The first Guild Newsletter was published in 1985.
Members have the option to have their birthday date published in Quillo Talk and are encouraged to exchange handmade cards. These are then brought along and displayed by members at the Guild’s monthly meetings.
Every month the Quillo Talk editor will provide an inspirational quote. Members are encouraged to send a piece based on the quote to be published in the next issue of ‘QT”.
Thea Macqueen – Produced this piece using the quote by Victor Hugo from the April issue. Thea used Walnut ink for the text, and Aquarelle Watercolour pencils for the spark.
