Calligraphy Book

This guide to modern calligraphy comes from Lindsey Bugbee, the creator of The Postman's Knock. It is aimed at readers who want to learn the craft and then use it to make invitations, artworks and labels.

The book begins with the equipment: pens, nibs, inks and paper, along with the patience and creativity that help confidence and skill develop. Step-by-step instructions then walk through Lindsey's favourite lettering styles, with tips and advice along the way.

Once the basics are in place, 15 projects put the new skills to work. They include unique invitations, labels for a home business, and cards for friends and family.
