Description

Joyce Lee first picked up a calligraphy pen when she started making stationery for her wedding. For her, it is now a way of life, her career, and what she calls a 'calligraventure'.

In this practical and inspiring book, Joyce introduces modern calligraphy, including the tools you need and how to use them. She teaches various techniques and methods for creating beautiful artwork to give you the confidence to embark on creative projects of your own, including handwritten envelopes, gift tags, and an elegant monogram.

However, this is more than just an instructional guide; it encourages you to find joy in committing your thoughts to paper. Joyce believes that calligraphy is not just about perfecting the strokes, but about patience, concentration, and slowing down to be mindful of the moment. Creativity is at the heart of us all; it simply needs to be unlocked, nurtured, and given an outlet.

This book is everything calligraphy should be: classic, stylish, creative, and thought-provoking. Fall in love with the art of handwritten lettering as you release your own creativity on the page.
