Product Description
Product Description
This thorough workbook provides a complete course in calligraphy, from basic alphabets and letterforms to templates, from spacing and layout to complex projects. It’s big, it’s complete, and it’s filled with the most detailed lessons on calligraphy anyone will ever need. A complete overview of the basic tools explains what each pen can do, and how inks and paints can affect the quality of the work. Several tasks are laid out for students to master: They can start with “skeleton letters,” and then gradually try more complex forms, including Rustica, Antique Uncials, and Carolingian. Prepare for a project by understanding line spacing, centering, layout, pasting up, and using color. Then, see how to make giftwrap, fashion handmade greeting cards, design posters, and copy poetry and prose.

Nice but not a workbook,
By Madria - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lettering & Calligraphy Workbook (Paperback)
I agree with other reviewers that this book is informative and will benefit those looking for a general book on the history of calligraphy and on various alphabets. If you are looking for a book that will let you practice individual letters on pre-lined sheets, however, this is not that type of book. I've given the book three stars so that folks may read this and consider what they really want from a calligraphy book. Personally, I would like to get better at calligraphy, but calligraphy books tend to insist that you buy a panoply of supplies, set up an ergonomically correct workspace with an adjustable drawing board, and line several sheets of paper--using a T-square and other such materials--before you practice a single letter. With limited free time, I would like to be able to sit and practice calligraphy casually for relaxation. This book is not the type of workbook I sought to facilitate that goal. To be fair, this book does emphasize that it takes time and dedication to perfect a craft; since I bought online, however, I did not know the book's approach until it arrived! If you are looking for a hobby rather than a craft, you already own a calligraphy set with basic instructions, and you are looking for a workbook of the type used to learn cursive in elementary school, you may want to just buy a practice paper pad.

Book not what I was expecting,
By P. Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lettering & Calligraphy Workbook (Paperback)
I am in a ongoing process of learning Gothic German for genealogy research of my family tree of historical documents. This book is very through for Lettering & Calligraphy for all other styles. In the title of the book is the word workbook. I thought I was sending for a book to learn all the brush strokes in depth with blank lined practice worksheets. The product was received on time and is new. It would have been helpful if a prospective buyer could page through the book to be purchased to know for sure it was the book wanted.

Calligraphy Basics,
By Jenna Hall - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lettering & Calligraphy Workbook (Paperback)
I tried to take a course that would teach me the basics of Calligraphy and wasn't about to find one that fit in with my busy schedule. So, I attempted to learn on my own . . . and this book is a great place to start. With my starter Calligraphy pen set and this book, I am well on my way to learning the basics. The workbook even includes projects. For the price, it is a great deal.
