Denis Brown Workshop

Yes, we has lots of fun here at the Red Door Art Studio with Denis Brown. Geez, what a genius he is and it will take lots of practice (maybe even another lifetime) to master his style of calligraphy but hey, it's a start!

If you are not a calligrapher, I apologize for the gushing because you are surely thinking, what's the big woop? As I said before in my last post (a long time ago!) Denis is from Dublin, Ireland, and is one of the foremost calligraphers and teachers probably in the world. It was quite a feat to get this to work out where he could come here to Jacksonville. I hope he enjoyed us southern women. He couldn't understand a word I said and he had to say politely, "Pardon?" every time I asked him a question. 

Below we were all done and about to send him off on the plane before a quick stop at the pub right down the street. Yes, he is a true Irishman!

Look at Lori below. I know what she is thinking...

Holy cow!

 I was thinking the same thing. Denice is scratching her head.

His calligraphy is amazing.

And look at this: He signed my wall! How cool is that? Ok, now, back to work on letterforms from Calligraphy.TV.
