"Fall in love with copperplate calligraphy while expanding your creative repertoire with this practical, easy-to-follow and comprehensive guide. The magic of copperplate calligraphy is that it is based on a few elementary forms and a few important rules. All you need to get started are pen, ink and suitable paper, and with practice you will soon be able to design and print your own invitations, business cards and much more. Each chapter contains one or more tutorials filled with useful tips on how to get as much out of the content as possible while having fun. Everything is explained from the very start, in detail and in a step-by-step way, so no previous knowledge is required. On the other hand, if you have some experience with calligraphy, the book will serve as a great resource for building on those skills while experimenting with copperplate calligraphy's typical flourishes and decorative elements. The author, renowned German calligrapher Stefanie Weigele, who specializes in classic pointed pen calligraphy, shares her insight about essential tools and materials as well as important dos and don'ts that help you master the methods and techniques being taught quickly and effectively. The book includes downloadable exercise sheets and grids that make it easy for you to put your newly learned skills into immediate practice."--Page [4] of cover.
