I wanted to learn to write calligraphy. I knew a little already, but I wanted to refresh my skills and learn some new ones. As a teacher, I wanted to be able to impress my students with fancy letters sometimes. And, for other occasions like addressing a birthday card, or a love note to my wife, I wanted something to make people say, “Oooh! Did you write that?†Also, being able to write in calligraphy often makes you seem learned and knowledgeable of esoteric things. I’m all about that! I need all the help I can get seeming to be educated in mysterious and arcane subjects. So, I got some pens and this book. I’m very glad I did. This is a great book to, well, learn calligraphy.The first thing I like about it is that it is HAND LETTERED! I was kind of stunned to find this out. The entire text is written in calligraphy by hand. This is not a type set. That, in an of itself, makes the book worth looking at. I can’t imagine the work it took to write the entire book by hand.Additionally, the book is good at teaching you to write calligraphy, which is exceedingly helpful in a book called “Learn Calligraphy.†I disagree slightly with the author’s choice to begin with the Roman font, however. I learned “Chancery Italic†and “Gothic†some years ago (okay, 30 years ago). The Roman alphabet is simple in structure. But, nib angle is an issue. The Z is very difficult, as is the S. And many letters require you to change nib angle from 20 degrees to 45 degrees. But, on the other hand, her explanations and exercises teach you this. I just would have liked to start with an alphabet that was a little simpler in technique and more practical. Roman is, I think, really only good for titles. So, it’s hard to start using it for fun.That’s a very small issue, though. Mostly, I am very impressed with her great instructions and advice. Even though I don’t prefer it, I’m going to follow her instructions and go through the book little by little, doing the exercises, and learning the letters and strokes as she presents them. The book is designed to be a full course in calligraphy over time. You can’t digest the book all at once or quickly. It isn’t meant to be done that way. It’s meant to teach you the movements and habits that make calligraphy possible.Another strength of the book is the variety of fonts. She covers Roman, Celtic, Gothic, Bookhand, and Italic. Each alphabet has variations. In Roman, she covers the basic letter construction and then shows you five variations with serifs. It’s not huge, but I would argue that each style of serif does change the character and feel of the letters. She covers spacing the letters, as well, which can be difficult with some letters because the Roman alphabet has varying widths. She also shows a few examples of projects done with the Roman hand so you can see how it could be applied to your own artwork. Finally, she shows the “narrow†or Rustica version and “wide†or Quadrata forms of the Roman alphabet. So, if you’re counting, you have eight versions of the Roman alphabet: sans serif, five different serifs, Rustica, and Quadrata! Besides that, she also covers various flourishes and adornments for the alphabets. Oh yeah, you fancy now!Shepherd also includes some history on each alphabet and the book is arranged chronologically. So, by studying it page by page, you are also studying the history of letters. It helps to know some of the why the letters were formed the way they were.Finally, there are practice sheets included. However, you should make copies or use them as guidelines to put lines on your own paper. Or, for convenience, you can go to her website and print out pages on which to practice, which is kind of her. In all, this is great purchase for the calligraphy learner.
I am very critical of these books that claim to instruct and then you open the book expecting to learn and instead you see pages of their interpretation of art. In this book you see lessons and key teaching points such as how to connect letters, true grip and direction. I enjoy this book. I would say I would recommend it.
I recommend three manuals for the novice calligrapher: Calligraphy and Illumination: A History and Practical Guide by Patricia Lovett, The Calligrapher's Bible by David Harris (see my reviews of both texts) and this text, Learn Calligraphy by Margaret Shepherd, one of the foremost experts on the subject. While there are, of course, other books and certainly a selection of internet videos demonstrating various aspects of the subject, I have yet to discover any others that so thoroughly cover the material in such an organized manner and anticipate many of the stumbling blocks and questions often encountered by the novice. Ms. Shepherd's book starts right at the beginning and details all the does and don't s, obstacles and observations that a novice will chance to encounter from the start and answers the usual questions that every beginner will ask before and after having begun the task of learning the craft. While Ms. Lovett's text delves into greater depth and detail, Learning Calligraphy is the first text that I would recommend before referring to any other since this will definitely get you started and keep you going. I would also recommend her daily blog and website as it is happily filled with an endless assortment of perspectives, insights and recommendations for anyone searching for inspiration along the way. Margaret Shepherds other books are also outstanding but this is the one to get you started before digging into the others.
Probably the most complete book of calligraphy I have read so far. Very very interesting learning about the beginning of this art and the continuation of it. Also explains really good the different types of calligraphy. Would definitely recommend to any buddy that would like to learn this forgotten written art.
I've barely leafed through this book and already I see tons of excellent instructions here. Most calligraphy/lettering books just cover the basics (paper, nibs, good posture, etc) but she has gone into detail with pictures on the weight of the strokes, the combining of strokes, the degrees for which your nib needs to be angled... I'm so happy to have such a thorough guide on real calligraphy (sorry, this isn't really for faux calligraphy, but I think everyone can benefit from it). If your want to truly master your dip pens, this is the book to buy!!!
A little disappointed. I was hoping for practice pages, instructional pages or tracing samples. I would relate it more to a 'history of' rather than a 'learn how-to'. It is not a bad book, just not what I was hoping for.
Excellent resource for learning the fine lost art of Calligraphy. I bought this for myself but also for my children whom we homeschool, so that they may learn a solid penmanship. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to learn.
This is my favorite of several calligraphy books that I own. I like it better than the pricier one my teacher recommended. I just got back into calligraphy after several years, so I was very rusty. This book points out specifics about forming some of the italic letters in nearly full page illustrations, and has helped me to notice details that have really improved my work. It is concise and informative, and contains good exercises. She has written the full book in calligraphy! Unless you are advanced, you will find this book to be an excellent self teaching tool.
