The North London Lettering Association was formed in Spring 2001 out of a desire to offer those interested in and practising the craft of calligraphy and lettering in the area north of the Thames, an opportunity to enjoy regular monthly meetings, lectures, workshops and exhibitions.

Our numbers have continued to grow over the years, and we have arranged numerous displays and exhibitions throughout the area.

We meet once a month at the Cufos Community Centre, which is to be found at the top of The Avenue, London N10.  The Centre was formed over twenty years ago by the local community from the Booking Hall and Waiting Rooms of the old Alexandra Palace Station, and now, as part of Alexandra Palace, is a Grade II listed building. 

Our meetings include talks, often illustrated, given by prominent professional calligraphers and letterers, covering a variety of crafts such as bookbinding, glass engraving and stone carving. 

We hold an annual exhibition, issue a newsletter twice a year, aim to hold regular workshops, arrange visits to exhibitions of interest, and provide our members with information regarding suitable events around the country.

The Association is affiliated to the Calligraphy & Lettering Arts Society (CLAS), and we have a reciprocal relationship with the South London Lettering Association.
