The twelfth staging of Letterheads in New Zealand provided
some real highlights in terms of the quality of work and projects
that those in attendance created.
Leading the way was the host’s own efforts to make
the event a memorable one by providing a ‘circus’
atmosphere from the outset – you couldn’t possibly
miss the entrance to the ‘main tent’ of this particular
three-ring-circus!
Making this event special was the fact that thirteen people
made the trip across the Tasman from various parts of Australia,
no doubt helping to cement the relationship with fellow ‘heads
from the Lucky Country. Jon ‘Bushie^’ Butterworth
even commented that it ranked among the top ten that he’s
ever been part of – praise indeed!
With the traditional Letterheads skills being practiced,
it was good to see some variations creeping in to proceedings
with acid etching on both steel and glass, script and scroll
layout demonstrations, even the odd bit of calligraphy being
practised.
A side trip on the Saturday saw participants head out to
a very special garage and workshop that is an accredited Rolls
Royce and Bentley repairer that specialises in ground up restorations
of some pretty unique cars of the marques.
At the end of the day it’s probably best to let the
photos do the talking – enjoy!! |
