Calligraphy workshop

In the age of digital typography, beautiful hand lettering remains an essential creative medium, whether it is used to write an invitation or to frame a literary quotation. In Calligraphy Workshop, Christopher Calderhead teaches the basic features of the most important calligraphic styles, from Italic script to the Roman capital. As a leading expert in the field, he encourages the use of not only the hand but also the eye to fully understand and appreciate all aspects of this beautiful art, which still has practical applications. His clear, easy-to-understand instructions are accompanied by more than 400 images, including didactic examples, historical documents and practical guides. It also proposes projects illustrating some of the simplest uses of calligraphy, from a handwritten book to a map. Focusing on different traditions and aesthetic movements, this book makes artistic calligraphy both engaging and accessible to all.
