SHAS BAKER

I have been a calligrapher for over 35years, teaching in adult education since the year 2000.I have designed, developed, and conducted workshops for children since 2001.
My teaching experience is wide and varied, teaching beginners to advanced students. My class and workshop content ranges from historical scripts to contemporary adaptation, gilding, book binding, gestural text art, colour and design.
Private tuition and commissions are also a part of my work. 
I am currently the President of the Australian Society of Calligraphers and have held the position of Workshop coordinator since 2013. I am responsible for organizing workshops with international, interstate, and local tutors and the general development and growth of the ASC.
I have studied and attended workshops with Denis Brown, Carl Rohrs, Massimo Polello, Gemma Black, Olive Bull, Yves Leterme, Rachel Yallop Marina Soria and Brody Neuenschwander.
My calligraphy work was in the “Case of Excellence” at RAS Royal Easter Show 2019, and I hold numerous First Prize awards.
 I was a Judge at the RAS Royal Easter Show in 2020.
