Come and join us for some refreshments and a mid-morning talk about the many faceted lettering career of Will Carter, who is the subject of the exhibition currently displayed at the Lettering Arts Centre.
Will Carter (1912 – 2001) is regarded as amongst the finest lettering artists of his generation and the post-war era.
The exhibition’s curator, Eric Marland, will explain Will’s fascination with the letter form as evidenced in his skill as a calligrapher, compositor-printer, lettering artist, typeface designer, and letter carver.
Alongside publications produced by the Rampant Lions Press many of which are now collectors’ items, are examples of Will Carter’s skill as a typographer and font designer; hand-cut letters rendered in stone and wood and the well-worn tools he used to create signs, plaques and more personal artefacts.
The exhibition runs until 15th May and is open every day from 11.00am to 5.00pm.
COFFEE & CULTURE IS FREE TO ATTEND
