Teach Yourself Calligraphy is written for the complete beginner and shows the reader how to use calligraphy in a wide range of projects. It covers everything you need to know to become confident at the craft, including the four basic calligraphy styles, and techniques such as embossing, simple book binding, making rubber stamps, and stencilling.

The colour illustrations and diagrams make the projects clear and easy to follow, and the large colour spreads make the book ideal for use whilst following the projects and instructions.

Patricia Lovett, the author, is a professional scribe, teacher and lecturer. She is Chief Examiner for the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society and moderator for the Certificate of Calligraphy and the National Diploma in Calligraphy.
