Note on Calligraphy Library
Calligraphy Library:
I would be grateful if members would check their own book collection at home to see if there are some books belonging to the Library. I think there are some, in fact, missing, one in particular being that by Sheila Waters. I would appreciate if those who have forgotten to return the borrowed books, they would do so as soon as possible, so that we may keep our records up to date. This will also help other members to borrow books on a regular basis. They can be brought to the next Peannairi Meeting or sent to me at 140 Braemor Road, Churchtown, D 14.

Gallery of calligraphic pieces
This gallery shows some of the pieces of work, done mostly as commissions, that I’ve completed over the last few years. The five panels documenting Irish saints hang in Our Lady’s School, Templeogue, and give an account of the lives of the saints after whom the five Houses of the school are named. The four panels — the same prayer in four languages– were made to be hung at the memorial mass of a great and irreplaceable music teacher, Patricia Murphy, who taught in Our Lady’s School for over 30 years. The two pieces for Carlow Town Council are done on calfskin vellum, the best and most traditional substrate for calligraphy.
