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 är konsten att skriva manus på ett sådant sätt att det uttrycker skönheten i det som skrivs i bildandet av själva bokstäverna.
Kalligrafi gör anspråk på gamla rötter i de första registrerade uttrycksformerna: grottmålningarna av våra förfäder för cirka 25 000-30 000 år sedan. Så småningom stiliserades denna form av bildkommunikation omkring 3500 f.Kr. med utvecklingen av egyptiska hieroglyfer. Fenicierna följde omkring 1000 f.Kr. med ett av de tidigaste alfabeten — ett helt annat skriftsystem genom att varje symbol representerade ett ljud snarare än en idé eller bild. Det feniciska alfabetet antogs och modifierades av många folk, inklusive grekerna. Romarna tog upp det grekiska alfabetet och anpassade det för att passa latinet.
Latinet tar oss till början av vad många människor tänker på som modern kalligrafi. Det var språket i medeltidens allsmäktiga kyrkor när munkar var bland de enda läskunniga medlemmarna i samhället. En av deras uppgifter var att överlämna Guds ord på papper, genom att skriva in gamla texter i prydnadsvolymer för att läsas av helig elit och kungligheter. Munkarna ingjutit manuset med en blomstrande stil som skulle ge ära åt själva bokstäverna som för att göra inskriptionerna värdiga de heliga ord de förmedlade. Stilen var också ekonomiskt smal för att spara dyrt papper. Den blev känd som gotisk och var den ursprungliga formen av europeisk kalligrafi som vi tänker på den idag.

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
