Caite White
It was my pleasure to have an interview with Caite White of the C'Ville (one of Charlottesville's weekly newspapers) who wanted to learn from me about my work as a calligrapher and some of my favorite tools. Here is an excerpt from Caite's article...
From the C'ville:
Their favorite things - BY CAITE WHITE
"Eight designers give us their current object d'arte obsessions...
#7 - My pen point (known as a nib) holder
'The way it feels in the hand is very important to its effective function and performance. It was designed by a master penman…made from Osage Orange, a shrubby tree that grows wild around here and that Lewis and Clark reported back to Jefferson was a wood valued by Indians for the crafting of their bows.'
- Heather Belle Rolfe, calligrapher, Heather Belle Ink."
