The insights and wisdom you shared in the workshops come flooding back. <br /><br />Like Oran I still have the beautiful notes you shared with us and actually came across this article searching to see if by chance you had ever compiled them in a publication. They still resonate today and provide a portal back to fond memories of learning to unlearn, travelling uncharted waters and finding overlooked and forgotten avenues.

Along with Senator Eoghan Harris (who continues to teach there), David's classes/workshops were indispensable and were crucial to my development as a student and latterly as a designer.<br /><br />His workshop notes/handouts (all of which I've retained) were beautifully written and beautifully designed. Each workshop combined practical exercises and visual techniques with experimental design processes and visual researching methods.<br /><br />In particular, I remember a fantastic workshop titled 'Exploring Synesthesia' which directly contributed to my awareness of the metaphorical potential of materials – an awareness which has been of great benefit to me as a working designer.<br /><br />Like many designers, I split my working life between studio work and teaching. When speaking to students I often find myself quoting David. 'You have to lose sight of the shore to discover new lands.' was one of David's favourite sayings, and one which I continually repeat.<br /><br />Thank you David, you were and remain a massive inspiration.<br /><br />Oran Day, 05.05.11Oran Dayhttp://www.atelier.ienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640103338902683832.post-7262864298045877372011-03-18T10:09:41.714+11:002011-03-18T10:09:41.714+11:00Yves blog is going to be a fabulous journery, I li...Yves blog is going to be a fabulous journery, I like ronnie recommend you hitch a ride ...

One can spend an awful lot of time combing the blogs and you are doing a great service to put together a "greatest hits", or perhaps better put, a bouquet of blogs. It does seem sometimes that calligraphy is underappreciated by so many whose eyes are trained to what they perceive as the perfection of typography...but then I hear about another wait list for a great lettering class and I am reassured!

I'm sure the fear of where is calligraphy going and indeed will there be a use for it in the future, never mind the thought of 'Where's the new blood' are questions we have all needed to ask.<br />Is it a craft or is it Art....hmmmm.... perhaps it starts as a Craft but then like magicians we turn Letters into Art and perhaps we should all commit ourselves to entering more 'Art' exhibitions so the Art world can get used to it being so....Many points to ponder, thanks for a wonderful article.<br />May you pen never run dry xSue Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600985105373472577noreply@blogger.com
