Bernard Parkin M.A., Grad. Cert. Ed., M.A. has been a full-time calligrapher since 1994, though he was teaching the craft to beginners at Whitby Evening Institute in 1985-6 and at Dubai Arts Centre in 1987-89, in “another life” as a teacher of, and lecturer in English.
Inspired by Edward Johnston, he values spontaneity, fluency and “life” above all. He sells copies of his work, as manuscripts on parchment paper, in picture-frames he makes himself, and as laminated bookmarks - at craft fairs (mostly in North Yorkshire) and at several craft shops.
Bernard also accepts commissions - people’s own or their favourite poems, homilies etc.. He charges less than the minimum wage for this happy labour! He also organises craft fairs in Hawes, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire.
