Isn't this amazing?

A bargain hunter who went to an estate sale in Maine to find a KitchenAid mixer, a bookshelf or vintage clothing walked away with a 700-year-old treasure.

These seem like modern calligraphy, in a way!

Many thanks to Tamara and the Washington Calligrapher's Guild for these. If you would like to improve your Italic hand or work toward using it for handwriting, the warm-ups and ligatures in the first few cards will be invaluable.

Several of you, in response to the last program, "What's On Your Bookshelf," have asked after Alfred Fairbank's Dryad Writing Cards. Seems these are hard to come by and if you do, they're wicked expensive.

These writing cards pair well with his handwriting manual (of which you can still find copies at a very reasonable price).

I have scanned my set of these writing cards into a PDF for your use.

Here is the link to that Dropbox file:

Keep in mind that even though these are out-of-print, to please only use these for personal or educational use. These are not to be distributed for sale. Thank you.

In mutual love of letters,
Tamara Stoneburner

Note to self: do NOT try to do gold leaf on the most humid and disgustingly hot days of the summer. Nothing dries, even with AC cranked.

Look at this insane brush
manipulation! It takes superior control.

I absolutely must share this review of Denis Brown's workshop, written by Bob Howe, of the Australian Society of Calligraphers. I took this workshop several years ago in Boston, and it was an unforgettable experience! I could never do it justice, the way Bob does here. Even if you haven't studied with Denis (and, if given the opportunity, you certainly should, but prepare to be stretched and worked HARD), you will enjoy Bob's eloquent writing, not to mention the cartoon he drew! Enjoy!

Dangerous Lines Workshop with Denis Brown. Report by Bob Howe, Australian Society of Calligraphers, Sydney 2007. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Supermaj … uscule! Thus we attended and took part in a wondrous Denis Brown workshop...

If you find yourself spending more time writing than usual, these exercises and stretches will be helpful!

We consulted with Dr. Bryan Lang of Whole Body Health Physical Therapy asking him about exercises that could be beneficial to our creative audience, especially as we are all transitioning to working environments that are different from our regular ones.

Enjoy this classic resource for free!

The Zanerian Manual

David Grimes scanned and created a high-resolution PDF of the legendary Zanerian Manual (1924 Edition) available for FREE download. This is the book that I studied script from as a novice and beyond. This is a very significant contribution to the art form by David. This was done with the permission of the Zaner-Bloser Company. This file is ~800mb and available for download at:

I love this!

Pen pal clubs are growing across the U.S. But it’s not just the older generations who are joining them.

Ha!

Louisiana grade-school students will resume penmanship study this fall, and there are reasons why you too should consider it.

Are you a left-handed calligrapher? Does any information on this page make sense to you? https://www.calligraphy-skills.com/left-handed-calligraphy.html

A true artist. LOL

Artist Hank Schmidt in der Beek and photographer Fabian Schubert offer a hilarious take on classic outdoor painting.
