She attended their workshops and developed her skills with their tutors. During the last 20 years she became fascinated by letters and their different forms. At first she practised traditional calligraphy using pen, ink and paper ; then 10 years ago she learnt to engrave glass, found it much easier than she had imagined, and combined the two disciplines - lettering and engraving. She became a member of the Guild of Glass Engravers and later an Associate Fellow. After 10 years of calligraphy on paper, Julian decided to engrave her lettering on glass, fascinated by the effects and reflections produced by its transparence. She combined the two techniques - calligraphy and engraving.
