African Beach Calligraphy

If you like sand, water and calligraphy then look no further!

Andrew Van Der Merwe is an artist who specialises in calligraphy and has 20 years experience in this subject. He carves huge letters in the sand using various instruments and leaves no footprints too! Most of the forms you'll see below draw inspiration from African writing systems.

He says: "Calligraphy is the hardest part of design. Any calligrapher worth his/her salt will understand this. Even wordless writing must have a logic, a system of movement, a poetry."
