The Calligraphy Book

Pointed Pen Techniques, Inspiration, and Projects

Lindsey Bugbee

After outlining the different types of calligraphy and the equipment needed, Lindsey Bugbee explains the artform’s basic strokes and techniques. Upper and lower case alphabets and numbers in five styles are presented – from the relatively casual to copperplate and an ornate flourished example – and are followed by step-by-step instructions for 15 projects through which to hone the skill, from greeting cards to a wedding invitation and wall art.
