Papiergeflüster (paper wispering)

Regular mettings and to exchange ideas about Calligraphy, Book Art and papers

Since 2005 there has been a loose-knit group of people meeting regularly in my studio to exchange ideas, experiences and current publications about Calligraphy and Bookbinding. Most are people who have met in my courses and wanted to continue working in this field. Therefore we offer the room but the ideas and content is presented by the visitors.

The first meeting happened in January 2005. And the first project was an exhibition “When letters learn to walk”, which opened in spring 2005 at Blue Child. The exhibition presented work of the course participants.

Every year since 2007, they have designed a new calendar. The participants choose a topic and then create calligraphic designs. The best are chosen and the printed in a small edition.

The topics so far have been:
