Working

I haven’t been doing much lately except certificate fill-ins and cleaning my studio. And I’ve gotten back to working on the latest Hebrew calligraphy assignment from Izzy Pludwinski’s correspondence course. So I haven’t been posting much.

In the meantime, take a look at the work of a couple of calligraphers I met in Jerusalem this past month:


Izzy Pludwinski —
His website, www.impwriter.com features galleries of ketubot, fine art, liturgical work for synagogues, his limited-edition book Song of Songs, Judaica, commercial work, and more. There is also information about the Hebrew calligraphy correspondence course I began there and am finishing here.

David Moss —
This website, www.bet-alpha-editions.com, shows a tiny slice of the work of this prolific calligrapher. He brought out piece after piece in his studio for us to look at. And I was reminded of the story of one of J.S. Bach’s pupils asking him, “Papa, how do you ever think of so many tunes?” to which Bach replied, “My dear boy, my greatest difficulty is to avoid stepping on them when I get up in the morning.” I’m sure that David Moss suffers from the same difficulty.
