Sue Hufton
 Calligrapher
Born in 1957 and trained as a teacher at Roehampton Institute
where Sue first saw books made by calligraphy students which inspired
her. Three years later she returned to Digby Stuart College to take the
Certificate and Diploma courses in Calligraphy and Bookbinding. She later
received a Crafts council Training Grant to study letter drawing and carving.
In 1987 she was elected a Fellow of the Society of Scribes
and Illuminators. She has taught calligraphy at all levels and has contributed
articles for several books and publications.
Sue lives on the South coast of England with her husband
who is a Methodist Minister and her two sons. Much of her work has a spiritual
theme as both her work and faith are integral elements in her life. She
has led retreats for calligraphers on Holy Island (Lindisfarne) where
these two elements of work and spirituality are directly brought together
within the context of a special place.
