From tools and techniques to fantastic projects, everything in this kid-friendly guide to the art of beautiful writing has been chosen specifically for children. Youngsters can use special felt-tipped pens called chisel-edged markers and the attractive pages, filled with brightly coloured examples, get kids started with simple zigzags and then move on to small and large italics, gothic lettering, uncial and Roman calligraphy. Children will enjoy using their new skills to write down poems, fashion border designs, and create greeting cards and invitations. Calligraphy is the art and craft of beautiful writing and lettering. It can be stimulating, rewarding, frustrating, and satisfying, sometimes all at the same time! As with all activities, starting right is essential to progress and to attain real satisfaction. Whether you produce traditional or avant-garde, elaborate or simple pieces of work, all make great gifts for friends and family.
