Foundations of Calligraphy

Reviews & Comments:


Dear Sheila:

I am writing to let you know that I just got your book, Foundations of Calligraphy, and I just love it! I can't believe how jam packed it is with information and instruction. I decided to purchase your book after having read Cindy Degrange's article, Study Groups--A Very Broad Term, in the last Masscribes newsletter.

In her article, Cindy talks about their study group and how they go about studying a hand and helping each other at their meetings. One resource they use to verify their lettering is your book. I really appreciate it when people in the know make recommendations for those who aren't so much in the know and, this recommendation is stellar!

Since taking a class last fall, I have purchased more than 50 (used) books on calligraphy and have been disappointed as very few provide guidance for someone serious about learning. It may just be that not many books exist with good examples but every book recommended by my instructors has always been a worthwhile purchase. Your book is priceless. Thank you so much for writing Foundations of Calligraphy.

Sincerely,
--Kate, West Yarmouth, MA

Sheila Waters’ book Foundations of Calligraphy would be a good investment for anyone who wants a good grounding in calligraphy fundamentals and more.
