THE 12TH ANNUAL LETTERHEADS CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN
The twelfth staging of Letterheads in New
Zealand provided some real highlights in terms of the quality of work
and projects that those in attendance created.
Leading the way was the host’s own efforts to make
the event a memorable one by providing a ‘circus’ atmosphere from the
outset – you couldn’t possibly miss the entrance to the ‘main tent’ of
this particular three-ring-circus!
Making
this event special was the fact that thirteen people made the trip
across the Tasman from various parts of Australia, no doubt helping to
cement the relationship with fellow ‘heads from the Lucky Country. Jon ‘Bushie^’
Butterworth even commented that it ranked among the top ten that he’s
ever been part of – praise indeed!
With the traditional Letterheads skills being
practiced, it was good to see some variations creeping in to proceedings
with acid etching on both steel and glass, script and scroll layout
demonstrations, even the odd bit of calligraphy being practised.
At the
end of the day it’s probably best to let the photos do the talking –
enjoy!!
Regards, Brian
