A slim and accessible guide for beginners, with gorgeous exemplars and project ideas (written by a left-handed calligrapher!)
A must-have resource, featuring exemplars from a wide array of Latin scripts from Roman capitals and Italic to Copperplate, Fraktur and gestural lettering.
An essential reference for historical scripts
An influential manual from the early 20th century, available to download for free
An in-depth guide to learning Copperplate calligraphy (also available in German and Japanese)
An independent quarterly magazine published in Canada. Check out issue 70 for reflections about creative practice, including an article I wrote entitled “Practice Makes Progress: Journeys in Calligraphy.”
Stay tuned for 2027 workshop announcements!
