Congratulations to HMS Calliope on receiving the Freedom of the Borough of Gateshead. I was asked to add its name and dedication to the Book of Honorary Freemen held at the Civic Centre.

A little inscription celebrating a massive achievement! The client climbed all 3776m of Mount Fuji in July and bought this gorgeous work of art as a memento. It has been proudly framed and I was asked to add the details of his climb to the mount.

A logo hiding in plain sight: Studio Blackburn folded Culture House's "C" and "H" into a little house that runs through the whole identity 👀

I'm back at my desk today after an extended summer break and I can't wait to get my pens out! I've been busy catching up on e-mails and writing this month's newsletter today. Back to teaching tomorrow!

Who's ready for sweater weather? 😉
Unbelievably honoured to have written the calligraphy on O’Nien’s honorary doctorate. Hoping to see him in action at York City tomorrow! ⚽️ 🔴 ⚪️
A week ago, the @sunderlanduni awarded me an Honorary Doctorate of Sport and I’m still trying to find the words to express my gratitude.
I came to the North East to keep chasing a dream and everyday, I get to live it here in Sunderland in a place I am proud to call my home. The City of Sunderland gave me a life I could have only imagined; Special moments, family, & memories that will stay with me forever.
To be awarded something so special when i have already received from so much, means more than I can properly explain. I’ll never forget where I started, and I’ll never take for granted where the journey has brought me ❤️🤍
Thank you, Sunderland. For everything.
My Friday group at @OceanRoadCA are back for a new term and we’re making a start on Carolingian script. Lovely sunlight streaming through the windows onto our practice pages today!
New term, new home and watercolour fun with guest tutor Kerry Cook for my Thursday group today. @SouthTyneLibs

My lovely student Rebecca (pictured) created this gorgeous sign and beautiful handwritten placecards in copperplate script for her sister’s wedding earlier this month. Proud teacher moment!
I'm back at my desk after the Easter break and gearing up for a slightly slower spring/summer term than normal as my eldest is sitting his GCSEs and I'm on revision watch! #bringonsummer
If you're on my mailing list, this
month's newsletter has landed in your inbox. There's a
lot to catch up on, seeing as I neglected to send an
update out in March. 🤭

My website has been given a spring clean by Jackdaw Web Design. The teaching side of my business is now front and centre with lots of lovely new images by @RJMPhotography1. Let me know what you think!
Another short course has flown over at The Art Room Sunderland. Italics this time! Back in September. I’m going to miss this lot over the summer!
Always a pleasure to update Honorary Aldermen/Freemen books - this one was for @gateshead Council. (1/3)
This was for @NTCouncilTeam - my first time doing a civic scroll from scratch! @NormaRedfearn (2/3)
