Добавлен 24 окт 2020
Welcome to the Society of Scribes RUclips channel. Founded in 1974, and based in New York City, the Society of Scribes is a non-profit educational organization which fosters the appreciation, understanding and acceptance of calligraphy as a fine art. The Society promotes the study, teaching and practice of calligraphy and related disciplines not just to our local members, but to lettering lovers around the world. It also encourages fellowship and the exchange of ideas through its speakers, programs, workshops, exhibits, online classes, publications, and videos.
Challenge Met: The Origins and Early Years of the Society of Scribes
A panel discussion preceded by a presentation by Paul Shaw
In the first of three lectures, Paul Shaw presents a short history of calligraphy in the United States from the beginning of the 20th century until the founding of the Society of Scribes in 1974. His presentation is followed by a conversation about the Donald Jackson workshop that jump-started the Society and the early years of the group in the 1970s. The conversationalists will be Nancy Corbin, Marcy Robinson, and Ina Saltz. It is expected that several founding members of the Society will be present in the audience and willing to share their memories of the early days.

APRIL 5TH, 2024 THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WATCHING YOUR GREAT VIDEO. I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TODAY. PROBABLY I WILL COME BACK ANOTHER 100 TIMES. THANK YOUI
Wow, learned a lot
Truly inspiring….
GREAT VIDEO. THANKS
Excellent talk, thNk you. It helps me tEach ithers…
Dear Nancy, It was lovely to see you and Barbara again after such a long time (I do have very happy memories of my trip to LA, and staying with Joan & Tony). I'm so glad you enjoyed the talk; such a pity you couldn't stay until the end... Have fun creating your own book of scraps.
Margaret - You are such a delight!!! I had to leave the live event after one hour and so am very happy this video has been made available. And so soon!! Only thing missing was the ability to join in with my own comments (and anyone who knows me knows that I am prone to jump in at the most inappropriate times!!). I thoroughly enjoyed this new take on what to do with those papers that I have everywhere! And the references to your class in Los Angeles brought me back to those days you were here! It really was so much fun. Your ideas for developing one's own unique alphabet added to my ongoing play. And it really is PLAY! Thank you, Margaret, and thank you Society of Scribes for sharing this fun time! Nancy Campbell
Stunning work.
Paul Antonio covers flourishing (both broad-edge and pointed pen) extensively in his videos and book (Copperplate: A Yin-Yang Approach). Michael Sull's "Spencerian and Ornamental Scripts". Online scribes like TheosOne specialize in gothic/ blackletter with flourishing
Thanks so much for reposting this! I was sad that I had to miss it!
