The 13th Annual Wearmouth Lecture

Susan Moor, chair of The Society of Northumbrian Scribes, will be presenting 'Illuminating Texts', Word and Image before and after Bede, on Saturday 28th September at St Peter's Church, Monkwearnmouth, Sunderland. The lecture begins at 11am and will be preceded by Eucharist at 10am, followed by coffee.

There will also be a display of work in progress by Susan, made during her time as artist in residence at St Peter's.

'Words: Past, Present & Future'. The Society of Northumbrian Scribes Annual Exhibition.

Photographs from the opening of the Northumbrian Scribes exhibition Words: Past, Present & Future at Bede’s World on 5 September. The exhibition closes on 30 September, so hurry up if you want to see some excellent calligraphy!
After the official exhibition opening, there was also time for members to see more of the 'Letters after Lindisfarne' artworks. These are around 200 calligraphic pieces produced by calligraphers from around the UK, and will eventually be bound into one book.
