Scribes (Bedale, North Yorkshire) Special Interest Groups (SIGs) The Copperplate Special Interest
Group The Copperplate
Special Interest Group was founded in 1995 by Jim Linwood to address the
needs of pointed pen enthusiasts. Prior to this, there had been a lack of
focus for lovers of Copperplate and other pointed pen calligraphy. The aim of
the group is to promote Copperplate as a beautiful calligraphic hand. Since the group was
set up, interest has grown in the hand, and we now have an enthusiastic
membership of over 150 worldwide, incorporating all ranges of ability from
the very beginner to some eminent and expert broad-edge calligraphers. We keep our members
in touch with four newsletters a year, which include information on nibs,
suitable inks and papers, samples of work, hints and tips, events and
workshops. We run an Envelope
Exchange scheme every six months, and a `mentoring' scheme in which the less
experienced can receive help to improve their Copperplate from the more
experienced. There is also an ongoing project that culminates in a yearly
calendar. We are a friendly
and inclusive group, and we welcome new members. Membership is open to anyone
who has an interest in Copperplate. The
