1-2-3 Calligraphy!

With just a little practise - and this book to guide them - children can make eye-catching signs, design their own personal stationery, address colourful envelopes in elegant script and create pictures and other decorations to hang on the wall. Inside this guide, budding calligraphers will find new alphabets - and new ways to render the alphabets they already know - as well as fresh techniques and projects. There's coverage of the basic rules of layout; a review of some of the fundamental skills; advice on changing the weight of italic letters and forming italic capitals; and an introduction to both Swing and Modern Gothic handwriting.
