Visual Art at St Vincent's Chapel

Nil penna sed usus – not the pen itself, but the skill in using it. Words and music to celebrate the quatercentenary of Esther Inglis (c1570-1624), a brilliantly gifted French-Scottish calligrapher, artist and embroiderer who died in Leith 400 years ago. A recital of her verse translations of devotional works, together with metrical psalms, canticles and spiritual songs from the period, will be followed by a rare opportunity to see photo images of her exquisitely detailed work. Presented by Jamie Reid Baxter.
