Wonderful! Would have loved to be there!Last night, as part of The Letter Exchange’s 30 year celebrations, a unique event called ‘A Brush with Silence’ was held at The Round Church in Cambridge.

It was both inspiring, stimulating and incredibly relaxing at the same time. Observing how calligraphers from all over the world practice their art was fascinating. I loved the silient study and watching their shifting bodies and tilting hands.

Because of the silence you could hear the rhythm and scratch of tools and the flick and splatter of the ink.

All the calligraphers wore white and used black ink on white paper with a variety of tools : quills, brushes, homemade balsa pens, cola pens, bits of cardboard, pointed and broad edged nibs. Two volunteers dressed in black would quietly tend to them delivering paper and taking away finished works to dry. A production team filmed the event so it became a work of art in its own... the brainchild of Brody Neuschwander... and all in complete silence. ...
