Introduction
Calligraphy is a fun craft to learn, as well as a useful one. Far from
being an obsolete skill, more and more people today are picking up
the pen and creating their own greeting cards, wedding invitations,
fine art projects, and even creating their own computer fonts!
In the old days, calligraphy tools were unique and specifically
crafted to their task. Today, a calligrapher has a wide variety of
tools from which to choose, from traditional to completely modern,
even digital! Calligraphers can now experiment with their artistic
expression, freely mixing creative ideas and elements together to
explore new artforms with their projects. In this book we’ll examine
the basic techniques of calligraphy, covering calligraphy hands
suitable for a wide variety of projects and easy for a beginner or
intermediate calligrapher to practice and learn. We’ll also cover
easy decorative techniques such as watercolor painting, Celtic
knotwork, gold leafing and illustration ideas to create a “toolkit” of
creative techniques. You’ll learn how to make your own wedding
stationery, create a painted greeting card or a birth announcement,
design a logo for your own business, and so much more! We’ll cover
all the steps from basic layout to design choices to the final
completed piece in easy step-by-step examples.
Calligraphy is a way of expressing yourself and learning
something new in an art field that has lots of potential for new
discoveries—finding new ways to embellish your lettering, learning
a new alphabet, or creating memorable keepsakes with a handmade
touch for yourself, family and friends.
