ISLAND MAGIC MENTORING PROGRAMME

The Island Magic committee established this education fund in June 2009.

Over a four year period, $500 will be given annually to each of TWO members who apply to attend calligraphy conferences.*

The Mentoring Programme application is not based on a particular level of calligraphic skill and, therefore, may be awarded to anyone from beginner to advanced level of experience, but the applicant should have a basic knowledge of calligraphy.  

Guidelines and qualifications are as follows:

-         The applicant has been a paid up member of the Warmland Calligraphers of the Cowichan Valley for at least one year prior to the application.

-    The applicant is an active contributing member of the guild who attends classes and/or workshops, attends the guild meetings and/or participates in gallerias, practical demonstrations, talks, and/or otherwise contributes to the general activities of the guild.

-    The applicant contributes time and effort by serving on a committee and/or helping with the newsletter by way of articles, editing, distribution, etc.

-         Priority will be given for major conferences requiring travel.

-         No person may receive these monies more than once.

-         Successful applicants are required to share their experience with the Guild.

An article for the newsletter is mandatory.  You may choose to give a picture/slide presentation of the conference and your class(es) in particular, conduct a “hands on”  session at one of our meetings, or teach a workshop using techniques learned at the conference attended

-         Successful applicants must share three of their FINISHED pieces showing the techniques learned.
