All that Glisters

Letters are all around us - they are in books, magazines and on screens, on buildings, advertising hoardings and signage, they show us the names of streets and roads, and point us in the right direction on motorways. Combined into words, they give us information, messages, and ideas.

Calligraphy uses letters and words to create beautiful and visually pleasing artworks which can lift the soul and gladden the eye. The Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society is the largest and most supportive calligraphy society in the world, and All that Glisters is the fourth in their prestigious Living Letters series of exhibitions.
