Thread Name: BS: Obit - Cursive Writing.
Subject: RE: BS: Obit: Cursive Writing.
Bill, there are. Our hospital has a chapel and a dedication book for deceased patients. The writing is exquisite and there is a tiny, delicate painting in watercolour rather like illuminated script for each entry. So does our crematorium. In fact, they could be the same hand. Also, there are evening classes for calligraphy and one can create cards and wall posters etc. But the pens, ink and special paper are quite expensive.The nuns at All Hallows in Ditchingham also produce beautiful prayer cards etc in calligraphy. So the art is alive and well.
