You are warmly invited to an evening of connection, reflection, and celebration as we honour 45 years  of creativity, community and friendships within the Guild. 

We are delighted to feature a special artist talk by Massimo Polello, internationally renowned calligrapher and artist. 

Special Artist Talk: 

A BOOK FOR MAHTAB: AN ARTISTIC RESIDENCY  

Hear the story of the meeting between Mahtab, an Iranian poet in exile in France, and Massimo Polello, a calligrapher. This led to an artistic project in the form of three artists’ books, following 20 days spent in a remote house amongst the French vineyards.
