The perfect handbook for those wanting to develop their skill in the fascinating art of lettering.
Calligraphy is a fascinating art which doesn’t require expensive equipment or much space. This classic book is the ideal introduction to calligraphy for beginners with helpful advice on holding your pen, maintaining a good posture and using appropriate lighting.
Tom Gourdie, himself a past master of the art, supplies you with a wealth of different alphabets and shows you how each may be applied by drawing, painting, carving or writing with a broad lettering pen. The book is divided into fourteen stages which ensure you get a comprehensive grasp of the craft, from letter height and line spacing to capitals and numerals.
Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate calligrapher, find out what materials and equipment are most suitable for you, and get started on producing beautiful letters.
