B2769. Foundations of Calligraphy by Sheila Waters. (2006) (2018) 2023. 150pp. 9"x11.25". Concealed spiral binding
**BRAND NEW 2023 EDITION**
This brand new edition of Sheila Waters' renowned Foundations of Calligraphy features an updated bio, new blue cover and 10+ stunning additions to the gallery pages, including multiple fold-out masterpieces.
Sheila Waters was a master scribe and a master teacher. For over thirty years of her summer workshops, Sheila took scribes through their paces for a week or more of in-depth instruction in letterforms (historical and modern). Students came from as far away as Australia and Japan for these intensive classes. And for many years, she taught numerous weekend workshops sponsored by calligraphy guilds throughout the USA and Canada and was a frequent instructor at the international conference held each summer.
In Foundations, Sheila provides insightful analysis of forms and construction, taking the mystery out of learning calligraphy. You learn how to analyze a script, which helps you toward mastery of an alphabet. In the 110 pages of exemplar alphabets, instruction, and hints, Sheila shares with you the knowledge she gathered over her years of study and practice. The presentation is honed by her long experience teaching calligraphers how to advance their skill and art.

A Wonderful Instruction Book
What a wonderful instruction book it is. Now, with it, I don't have to pull out those Instructional articles in various back issues of Letter Arts Review that Sheila did so long ago. Also, I still have my class notes and instructions from our workshop with her teaching italic to our guild, and pictures of her sitting with me for some personal instruction time. Blessed are we to have had Sheila and her teaching in our life.

Nothing else comes close
I have a library of calligraphy books, but if you made me choose to keep only one, this would be it. There are other books that dive more deeply into individual hands, but as a general reference for broad-edge calligraphy nothing else comes close.
