    I'm just starting to learn calligraphy and bought a book last week. I learned more about the basics in this 6 minute video than the first 10 pages of the book. Now I see why all those lines are important. Excellent video. Now on to practicing.

    Hi Everyone! So sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this - been moving the studio and then unpacking and resetting up plus all the work that is on. Really does take it out of you.
    We are planning on doing more, and regular, vids - write in to let me know what you would like to see
    hope you are all well

    I have always loved writing and had the desire to learn calligraphy. I've attempted several times when I was younger through books, but never took a real class. It occurred to me the other day I should TH-cam it! So glad I did. This was very informative, especially in regards to the beginnings of letter proportion/formation! Thank you so much. Debbie

    Found this really useful! :D Been banging my head against my computer trying to find printable calligraphy paper, but this vid helped me realize that line size matters....and that it's WAY more fun making my own! :D
    Sidenote: Saw a couple of comments that said this was way too advanced for beginners, but I had no problem understanding it. I've had to rewind and pause in a few places, just to make sure I'm doing it right, but other than that, I don't see how this is too difficult for beginners; it's just learning how to draw lines on paper, basically. (Though I did spring for that special little ruler at Hobby Lobby; it helps! :D)

I'm from Essex but live in the States (I know I lost a bet with God lol) and I get teased more for my slang terms than my accent. I like to say "half the people love my accent and their boyfriends don't ". Lol

    I remember Calligraphy and Lettering being part of our primary and secondary school curriculum. I was fascinated with the beauty of it but was too lazy to do it myself. It’s always a lot of work and I didn’t consider it relaxing then. Now I’m watching Calligraphy videos to alleviate stress. Ha.

    Could I ask what you recommend for flat/italic fountain pens? I have full Manuscript/Rotring and all other sets, but I keep returning to 60's Osmiroids which are more like my vintage dip nibs. They're not going to last much longer though. Or do you use dippers for final projects? Thanks for any info.
