Customer Reviews

Excellent book on making Calligraphy attainable!

I own several books on hand lettering, decorative lettering, and calligraphy. This book has so much practical information that I haven't come across in other books that I have, How to make bamboo or balsa wood pens. How to make guidelines. He shows how to load paint or ink into reservoirs in pens. He shows how to form the letters and explains how to make the classic Roman letters. He shows how to tell the grain of paper, create platemarks, attaching layers and using frames, and embossing to name just a sampling of topics. He shows several alphabets and how the letters are formed; Neuland, Celtic, Gothic, Italic, and Copperplate. This shows many examples of where calligraphy can be used for all occasions. You won't be sorry that you got this one.
