How do I start learning calligraphy?
Here are some tips on how to start learning calligraphy:
1. **Choose a calligraphy script.** There are many different types of calligraphy scripts, so it's important to choose one that you're interested in and that seems like a good fit for your skill level. Some popular calligraphy scripts include Copperplate, Spencerian, and Brush Script.
2. **Get the right supplies.** You'll need some basic calligraphy supplies to get started, such as a pen, ink, and paper. You can find these supplies at most art stores.
3. **Learn the basic strokes.** Each calligraphy script has its own set of basic strokes. Once you know the basic strokes, you can start to practice writing letters.
4. **Practice, practice, practice!** The more you practice, the better your calligraphy will become. It's important to be patient and not get discouraged if your handwriting doesn't look perfect right away.
5. **Find a calligraphy community.** There are many online and offline communities where you can connect with other calligraphers and learn from each other. Joining a calligraphy community can be a great way to stay motivated and learn new techniques.
Here are some additional tips that may help you learn calligraphy:
* Start with simple exercises and gradually work your way up to more complex ones.
* Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they're learning a new skill. The important thing is to keep practicing and learning from your mistakes.
* Find a comfortable and supportive environment to practice in. You'll be more likely to stick with it if you're enjoying yourself.
* Set realistic goals for yourself. Don't expect to become a master calligrapher overnight. Just focus on improving a little bit each day.
* Have fun! Calligraphy is a great way to express your creativity and relax. So enjoy the process and don't take it too seriously.

Kalligrafi er kunsten at skrive manuskript på en sådan måde, at det udtrykker skønheden i det, der bliver skrevet, i dannelsen af selve bogstaverne.
Kalligrafi hævder ældgamle rødder i de første registrerede udtryksformer: hulemalerier af vores forfædre for omkring 25.000-30.000 år siden. Til sidst blev denne form for billedkommunikation stiliseret omkring 3500 f.Kr. med udviklingen af egyptiske hieroglyfer. Fønikerne fulgte omkring 1000 f.Kr. med et af de tidligste alfabeter - et helt andet skrivesystem, idet hvert symbol repræsenterede en lyd snarere end en idé eller et billede. Det fønikiske alfabet blev vedtaget og modificeret af mange folk, herunder grækerne. Romerne tog det græske alfabet op og tilpassede det, så det passede til latin.
Latin bringer os til begyndelsen af, hvad mange mennesker tænker på som moderne kalligrafi. Det var sproget i middelalderens almægtige kirker, da munke var blandt samfundets eneste læsekyndige. En af deres opgaver var at forpligte Guds ord til papiret ved at indskrive gamle tekster i dekorative bind, der skulle læses af hellige elite og kongelige. Munkene tilførte manuskriptet en blomstrende stil, der ville tilføje ære til selve bogstaverne, som for at gøre inskriptionerne værdige til de hellige ord, de formidlet. Stilen var også økonomisk smal for at spare dyrt papir. Det blev kendt som gotisk og var den oprindelige form for europæisk kalligrafi, som vi tænker på det i dag.

I'm having difficulty getting the liquid gouache to stay on the nib for copperplate. should i dilute and if so how much? thank you so much
Hi Alison,
The White gouache should be good to work with straight out of the bottle. Just be sure that the contents have been well shaken or stirred before use. If you think the gouache is too thick (perhaps because the lid may have been left off for a period of time) then diluting it with a few drops of water will be okay.
Kind regards,
Jane
I want to learn how to do Mediaeval calligraphy. Will a course focusing on Modern calligraphy adapt? Can you let me know, please Thank you Penny Adie
Hi Penny. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately Modern Calligraphy does not work as a style for Mediaeval calligraphy. Gothic calligraphy is the best style for this kind of work. If you would like to learn in-person at 'Calligraphy Arts HQ' I have a number of Anything Goes' 1-day classes. The next one on the 24th March 2024 can be found here: https://calligraphyartsuk.com/en-gb/workshops-and-classes/893-anything-goes-calligraphy-class-24th-march-2024.html
