Calligraphy in 24 Hours is a carefully structured beginner's course. Learn the basic principles behind a range of alphabets, letter-by-letter and stroke-by-stroke, in a series of focused, technique-based tutorials

Teaches lettering for both broad-edge and pointed nibs in a range of scripts, beginning with easy-to-learn alphabets such as Roman Capitals and Foundational, and finishing with decorative scripts like Flourished Copperplate and Flourished Spencerian.

Includes a series of practical calligraphic craft projects taught by some of today's best calligraphers. Try your hand at designing a bookmark, manuscript book, family tree, or wedding invitation--and more.
