About this product

Product Information

In an age of myriad computer fonts and instant communication, your handwriting style is increasingly a very personal creation. In this book, Margaret Shepherd, America's premier calligrapher, shows you that calligraphy is not simply a craft you can learn, but an elegant art form that you can make your own. Calligraphy remains perennially popular, often adorning wedding invitations, diplomas, and commercial signs. Whether it is Roman, Gothic, Celtic, Bookhand, or Italic style, calligraphy conveys class and elegance. Margaret Shepherd makes this ancient art form accessible in a completely hand-lettered technical guide that will: * Provide context for calligraphy as an art, exploring the rich tradition of hand-lettering and mapping the evolution of the most popular styles. * Give detailed technical advice on choosing pens, paper, and inks, setting up your workspace, mastering various pen angles, along with step-by-step illustrations to guide you as you practice. * Explain which alphabets are appropriate for different forms of writing. For example, the Roman alphabet works well for short, unpunctuated passages, while the Italic alphabet is more suited to informal everyday communication. * Encourage you to personalize your lettering by using variant strokes and interpreting how you would like the words to look on the page. * Inspire you with carefully chosen illustrations and examples, which bring letters to life. In Margaret Shepherd's own words, "Calligraphy trains not only your eye and hand, but your mind as well." Learn Calligraphy is the authoritative primer for this age-old craft, and will help develop a new appreciation for lettering as you discover your creative personality.

    Another Excellent Calligraphy Book

    I followed the author for years, saving her blog of lettering. I love that I found her book. Another essential book for calligraphers.

    At least it is cheap

    It's an okay book for beginners, mainly due to price. It doesn't really show all the stoke sequences and the styles are kind of lame. I mean it will get you started but probably not hook you in. I bought on a whim because I misplaced the book I was using during a move and was wanting to get back into it and this book just doesn't grab my attention. You can't beat the price though so it does have that going for it but I would definitely recommend a different book.

    Easy to understand

    I took an online course to learn the italic hand. Now that I have the basics, such as pen angle, materials etc... I think I can probably learn the other styles from this book. This is most likely as good as it gets if being self taught is your only option. Ms. Shepherd shows plenty of practice exercises, which you will need. I appreciated the extras such as what stlye of calligraphy is appropriate for your finished pieces, and plenty on serif styles which I have not seen before. I read it from cover to cover last night and plan to start the Roman style as soon as possible.
