About Penmanship

[Free Citizen]

Hi Pen Folks,

 

This forum is created by KCat. She named it Renderings. The site creator, Denis Richard had proposed that we have a forum for Penmanship and that we should invite our revered James Pickering to lead it. As you will have noted Mr. Pickering's message, age has caught up with him and he would like to spend whatever time is available to him on things he holds dear. That is, writing, illuminating, lettering & bookbinding. And so he should be allowed to do these things. Hopefully, we will get to own his writings and have his name by his hand with a flourish

 

I have seen what Penmen are discussing about in their forums and it is not surprising that half of it is about the pens they use. So, it is hoped that by renaming this forum and moving it under the Ask the Experts category, Penman will come forth to share with us their knowledge about this skill that still serves an important purpose in any culture. For a good start, a handwriting expert, Kate Gladstone will be joining us. So folks, start inking your pens, put it to paper and post them here. Do and learn. Most important of all, enjoy yourselves while doing it

Ps. Since the initial plan to have this forum was with our friend James Pickering in mind. This forum is dedicated to him.
