Transformation exhibition opens

South Wales Scribes exhibition, Transformation, was well received at the opening function last night. There are 150 exhibits including framed work and books. This will be the first opportunity in many years, to my recollection 25 to30 years, to see an exhibition of calligraphy in South Wales.
The exhibition is at Swansea Museum and runs until the 23 April.
