About this title

Synopsis

Beginning with a brief history of the art, Calligraphy - A Guide to Hand-lettering examines the letterforms that we are familiar with today while a series of alphabets describes the characteristics of various styles. A section on materials, tools and techniques provides all the information needed to work on the projects that follow. These include letterheads, greetings cards and invitations, as well as decorative pieces using gilding techniques - perfect as keepsakes or gifts.
Offering guidance and inspiration to beginners and experienced calligraphers alike, this beautifully designed and illustrated book provides practical advice as well as a fresh and exciting approach to this traditional art.
