Description
My first course in illumination and gilding was with Donald Jackson, Queen Elizabeth’s Scribe, in 1974. Donald and I arranged a two-week-long class with Ann Hechle and Wendy Gould in London for 1976, which was attended by 30 calligraphers, the first “calligraphy tour.” Ann Hechle is a major figure in calligraphy, known for her artworks which explore the deep meaning of texts. The exquisite calligraphy in gouache is on calfskin vellum with raised gold lettering.
