I have written or co-authored quite a few how-to-do-it calligraphy books, many of them with Jan Mehigan, who’s a watercolour artist as well as calligrapher. Click through the menu to see if any of them appeal.
They were all commissioned by ingenious publishers who saw a gap in the market, so they cover a variety of approaches on calligraphy and are all aimed mainly at beginners, frustratingly for me and for advanced students, but where possible we have been able to include Gallery pages of high quality work by professionals, to inspire us all to keep aiming higher.
Try www.calligraphity.com a specialist calligraphy books supplier, or www.amazon.co.uk if you can’t find them in your bookshop. Some may now be out of print, as books have a short print life.
Don’t forget to try your library, they can order it for you if it’s in any of their branches, and libraries need our custom.
