Learn Calligraphy is the book I wish I'd had when I first started out. I've put between its covers the lessons I've learned from many years of lettering. In it you will meet the basic alphabets I rely on, grouped in th categories that make sense to me. You will read about the materials I recommer and why, practice the exercises that I think will help you the most, and wat out for the mistakes that I learned to avoid. Learn Calligraphy is also the book I wish I'd had when I first started to teach. It includes an overview of the main feature each alphabet, its historical importance, and a thorough grounding in the why to practice as well as the "how" to practice. The words you read are what I would say to you in person, the diagrams are what I would sketch on the board, master alphabets are what I would letter for you to take home. This book will help you teach yourself, teach someone else, or teach a group. Learn Calligraphy, however, is much more than a how-to book. I don't want you just to do what I do in calligraphy; I you to see what I see, and love what I love. All the illustrations in this by me and by other calligraphers, have been chosen not only to instruct instructors you but to inspire you.
Offers step-by-step lessons on the techniques of calligraphy, providing historical information while suggesting advice for choosing alphabets for different messages and selecting the best materials.
