Darja Mesarić
Isle of Wonders' Scribe
Actions
I am a Calligraphy artist from Croatia, specializing in historical Scripts from the 1st through the 20th century.
Through my craft, Kalidariart Design, I have been creating personalized one-of-a-kind gifts for the past seven years.
In addition, I teach medieval Calligraphy through workshops and live demonstrations, sharing the beauty and craftsmanship of this centuries-old art form with audiences of all ages.
For special events such as Isle of Wonders, I create original themed illustrations and personalize them with visitors' names written in Calligraphy, turning each piece into a unique souvenir and a lasting memory of the event.
For the past two years, I have served as the festival scribe at Isle of Wonders, where I combine art, storytelling, and live Calligraphy performance to create magical moments for visitors. This year, besides my Calligraphy work, I will also be presenting my Croatian Dragon T-shirts, featuring my original artwork inspired by Croatian legends and mythology.
Calligraphy is NOT dead - from medieval manuscripts to fantasy worlds.
Have you ever wondered why we are still attracted to old manuscripts, ancient books and mysterious letters?
Come and discover the story of Calligraphy – a skill that has shaped humanity for centuries, preserving stories and transmitting knowledge through time.
In the lecture, we will go through the development of Calligraphy from the beginning of History to the present day, with real examples of letters, tools and manuscripts that you will be able to see up close.
You will learn how this almost forgotten art survived the modern era and found a new life in the world of imagination – in the books, films, games and fantasy worlds that we love so much.
The lecture is intended for everyone who loves history, books, art and the beauty of handwritten letters.
Jeste li se ikada zapitali zašto nas i danas privlače stari rukopisi, drevne knjige i tajanstvena pisma?
Dođite otkriti priču o kaligrafiji – vještini koja je stoljećima oblikovala ljudski rod, čuvala priče i prenosila tajne kroz vrijeme.
Na predavanju ćemo proći kroz razvoj kaligrafije od srednjovjekovnih skriptorija do današnjih dana, uz stvarne primjere pisama, alata i rukopisa koje ćete moći vidjeti izbliza.
Saznat ćete kako je ova gotovo zaboravljena umjetnost preživjela moderno doba te pronašla novi život upravo u svijetu mašte – u knjigama, filmovima, igrama i fantasy svjetovima koje toliko volimo.
Predavanje je namijenjeno svima koji vole povijest, knjige, umjetnost i ljepotu rukom pisanih slova.
