Books in the Calligraphy Basics series

Inside this guide, budding calligraphers will find new alphabets - and new ways to render the alphabets they already know - as well as fresh techniques and projects.

From tools and techniques to projects, this guide to the art of writing is suitable for children. Youngsters can use special felt-tipped pens called chisel-edged markers and the pages, filled with coloured examples, get kids started with zigzags and then move on to small and large italics, gothic lettering, uncial and Roman calligraphy.
