Third International Calligraphy Exhibition in Bruges, 1989.
For several years, an exhibition about lettering art was set up in a beautifully restored house in a small dead-end street in Bruges, Belgium. Every three years, during summer, people could visit this internationally renowned exhibit and enjoy a magnificent setting. If I'm not mistaken, there have been 8 exhibitions in total. A select gathering of internationally renown calligraphers and letter carvers as such had never happened before.

Vorige zomer gaf ik een workshop in Brugge, meer bepaald in het 'European Lettering Institute' van Lieve Cornil en haar team. De groep cursisten bestond uit Amerikanen, twee mensen uit Finland en een dame uit Parijs. Het was een zalige workshop op een leuke locatie waar de cursisten en ik in de watten werden gelegd. Ik werd toen door een van de Finse studenten gevraagd voor een interview voor hun tijdschrift. Verleden week kreeg ik het tijdschrift toegestuurd en ik moet zeggen: het ziet er schitterend uit met een mooi verzorgde layout. Dankjewel Marika Koskimäki Ketelä!
Last summer, I was teaching a workshop in Bruges, more specifically in the 'European Lettering Institute', guided by Lieve Cornil and her team. The group of participants consisted of Americans, two people from Finland and a lady from Paris. It was a blissful workshop on a nice location where we all were being pampered. I was then asked by a Finnish student for an interview for their calligraphy magazine. Last week I received the magazine and I must say it looks great with a neat layout. Thanks Marika Koskimäki Ketelä!

Mag ik blij zijn met dit uitgebreid artikel over mijn werk dat onlangs verscheen in het amerikaans tijdschrift "The Alphabet" (San Francisco, California)? Ja toch! Carl Roars leverde uitstekend werk, niet alleen met het schrijven van de artikels, maar ook met het gedurfde zwarte uitgestanste alfabet voor de kaft: mooi!
I am very proud to have a big story in "The Alphabet", the journal of the friends of calligraphy, based in San Francisco, California, USA. Carl Roars did a great job, not only with the articles but also with the black cut-out alphabet cover: beautiful!
