This is the Northumbrian Scribes programme for the first half of 2013. Well, the weather has already had a go at the first meeting but hopefully the rest of the workshops will run successfully. The normal meeting place is Bede's World in Jarrow from 10.30 until 15.30.

The January meeting of Northumbrian Scribes had to be cancelled because the weather was so bad but there is another January event to look forward to. Words Set Free is an exhibition of work by members of Letter Exchange, a group of expert typographers, calligraphers and lettercutters and it will be on at the Design Centre in Sunderland from 16 January until 20 February. There is a Private View on 31 January and the details are given above.
