Contemporary Calligraphy with Lee Fitzgerald aka Mr Dee

"Graffiti is the current phase of the natural evolution of written words as an art form.

Contemporary calligraphy with its roots in medieval illuminated manuscripts and quill penned notes through to advertising logos and today's digital fonts. 

Artists and enthusiasts alike are rediscovering the beauty of the written form thanks to graffiti writing, a modern day take on the 26 letters that make up our alphabet."

"2D to 3D" with Helen Pemberton

"2D to 3D" with Helen Pemberton

Helen achieved a Masters Degree from the Royal College of Art where her work was informed by alchemical vessels which placed the artist in the position of Alchemist.  

Her final pieces were made from scrap mild steel and finished with oil paint, carefully leaving areas of the original patina showing.  The objects were re-invented, alchemical vessels; symbols to empower women.

Helen will re-investigate sculptural language through the project in stimulating and thought provoking, full day workshops. 

 

Suitable for adults.  To book; ring 01253 713553 or email circlesoflight-fylde@hotmail.co.uk
