I have started a series of work which include piercings. I was inspired by these little trinkets, some of which I took to the Summer School in Winter and the others I took to Red Deer. The more I am piercing the more I am enjoying the works.

Something about Gemma
- Gemma Black, Calligrapher

- I am an Australian calligrapher. I revel in the pure essence of letter forms in all manner of creations such as illuminated addresses, awards, certificates and calligraphic & decorative artwork. My work is housed in national and international collections including Parliament House, Canberra and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK. I have taught at international lettering arts conferences in the US and the UK as well as multi-disciplined art schools across the country. Please email me for further information on workshops, classes or commissions.

These look interesting. After you complete your calligraphy design, you pierce designs into the tag with a needle?
Yes, that's it CJ. I am loving piercings and I work them with an "awl"... because the handle helps! They take a long time and I really feel I need my "head read" but it is a lovely complement to the work ... no matter what the support is I am working on, paper or canvas. I created these for both my Melbourne and Red Deer classes.
