Okay, so John Denver sang about West Virginia, not North Carolina, but it is the Blue Ridge mountains I’m to heading tomorrow, so those are the words in my head. Today, I am packing for a week-long workshop retreat at Cheerio with Brody Neuenschwander and Alice... the Alice of NYC.I first saw Alice’s work back in 1988 when I purchased International Calligraphy Today, published by Watson-Guptill and featuring calligraphy as I had never seen it before. And Brody came to my attention through Peter Greenaway’s gorgeous film, The Pillow Book.
A big thanks to The Fairbank Calligraphy Society for awarding to Georgia Angelopoulos and I the Esmé Davis Bursary for 2007. I’ll be using my share to help cover expenses for this unique learning opportunity.
I’m not even sure I’ll have access to a computer at Cheerio (ouch - email withdrawal!) but I’ll post photos, etc., when I can.
Alice if you get to see this while you are there tell Mike Gold and Heather Lee I said 'hi'
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a fabulous time at Cheerio and have lots of great inspirations from the "other" Alice and Brody....
ReplyDeleteHi Toni,
ReplyDeleteI didn't get this 'til I got home, but it was my pleasure to meet both Mike and Heather!
