Andy Moore is a calligrapher based near Nuneaton in Warwickshire. He has been enjoying calligraphy for more than ten years and undertook a variety of courses with North Warwickshire College, the Open College for the Arts and University of Surrey at Roehampton while in other employment. In 2007 he became a full-time calligrapher, working through a combination of exhibitions and commissions. Bernard Leach, Warwickshire buildings, James Lees-Milne, John Betjeman and Bedford Park have figured as subject-matter in exhibitions to date and his work is now as far afield as Houston, Texas and Kilkeel in Northern Ireland. Examples of his calligraphy can be found in the John Betjeman Centre in Wadebridge; Kellogg College, Oxford; Rycote Chapel in Thame and St Katherine's Church in Chiselhampton. Oxford Preservation Trust has work and he is a member of Oxford Scribes. Work has been undertaken for the National Trust at Hartwell House and Stowe and a design for a plaque for a family chapel is being cut by a stonemason Fergus Wessel. Andy's work has been featured in Cotswold Life, Country Life, Oxfordshire Life, Oxford Times, Warwickshire Life, The Betjemanian (a publication produced by the Betjeman Society) and on BBC Radio. |
