From the publisher

The most comprehensive guide to learning the art of calligraphy.

This step-by-step handbook to the ancient art of beautiful lettering includes the key scripts of the world: Europe's major Roman alphabets (including Versal and Copperplate), Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese.

Each of the 14 script-technique sections contains a wealth of information and instruction, including:

  • Letter anatomy
  • Pen techniques and control
  • Pens, brushes and nibs
  • Stroke sequences
  • Paper and other media
  • Left-handed techniques
  • Inks, paints and metallics
  • Common mistakes and problem-solving tips.

There are 50 authentic projects such as a kabbalah prayer in Hebrew, a fabric bag with Bedouin motif, an illuminated Celtic prayer, and a "hope, love and joy" talisman in Chinese.

Whether for learning this ancient skill or for crafting personalized cards and gifts, this book celebrates the sage advice of calligraphers worldwide: "The joy of calligraphy lies in its practical aspect."
