Book Synopsis
If you've ever thought you'd like to learn calligraphy, then this 76-page instruction manual and workbook may be just what you're looking for!
This is my original 10-lesson beginner's course in calligraphy that I taught as a college course - written before I wrote my best-selling book, "Calligraphy For Dummies," or created the popular website calligraphybycorrespondence.com.
This book is entirely hand-lettered and will teach you how to do five beautiful, calligraphic alphabets: Italic, Blackletter, Roman, Bookhand, and Uncial, as well as several kinds of projects (greeting cards, posters, maps, awards) you can create with your new skills. There is also complete information about the correct materials and where to get them.
It's a workbook and there are plenty of trace and copy practice pages with each lesson for you to practice your skills.
The author says, "Hundreds of people have learned to do calligraphy using 'You Can Do Calligraphy.' I bet you can too!"
