We use to stock Character paper, which was perfect for Copperplate and Spencerian. However, the paper mill that produced this paper is no longer around.
We have now replaced the Character paper with Conqueror High White Wove Paper. This is a luxurious, superior quality 100gsm paper with a discrete watermark.
The smooth surface of this paper makes it ideal for Copperplate and Spencerian styles of writing and Ornamental penmanship.
This book is an ideal introduction to the traditional art of calligraphy.
Maureen Sullivan has produced a great handbook for helping you to develop and create your own original calligraphic style, and to enjoy the art of ‘beautiful writing’.The book begins with the historical background to calligraphy; the materials and equipment you need; and basic techniques, including ruling the paper, basic strokes, pen angles and basic letters.
The six most common writing styles (‘hands’) are explained clearly through step-by-step photographs – uncial, foundation, gothic, italic, sharpened italic and copperplate. Every letter of every hand is drawn out in stroke order and there is advice on letter and word spacing, all shown in clear, step-by-step photographs.
Paperback, 210 x 148 mm ; 96 pages
What a great title for a book!

Calligraphy in 24 Hours is a carefully structured beginner’s course where readers will quickly learn the basic principles and then go on to learn beautiful calligraphy in a series of 24 one-hour tutorials.
