ABout us
The Canberra Calligraphy Society was founded in 1986, when three friends gathered and called for people interested in calligraphy to come together. The Society was formed and since then has gone from strength to strength, maintaining a membership of roughly 60 calligraphy enthusiasts. In 2016 the Society celebrated its 30th anniversary and is looking forward to another exciting 30 years of calligraphy in Canberra. As ideas and techniques change the penmanship also evolves. Tutors for workshops are sourced from amongst our members, interstate and international calligraphers.
Workshops are held once a month at the Urambi Village Community Hall in Crozier Circuit, Driveway B, Kambah, usually from 1 pm–4.30 pm on the 4th Sunday of every month, except December and January. Once or twice a year the Society organises weekend workshops with visiting tutors.

Illuminating Wisdom—Words of Wisdom, Works of Art This new book by Deirdre and Craig Hassed has been added to the Society's library and is a donation from the publisher. The book is currently being reviewed and will be published in the Society's next bulletin so keep an eye on the website for further details. Writing styles over the ages Jill Robertson created this piece to display at the Canberra Calligraphy Society's demonstration at the National Museum's exhibition A History of the World in 100 Objects. It is a clear and concise poster outlining the development of scripts over the ages. Well done Jill.
