Students will learn the fundamentals of copperplate–its minuscule and capital letters, from basic strokes to elaborate variations.

- A detailed discussion of the essential tools, their advantages, and disadvantages: pen (quills, nibs, etc.), ink (dense vs thin, colored, etc.), paper (smoothness, weights), markers, pencils, and more.
- Learn how to retouch, correct, and crop.
- Strokes and letters are shown in the correct form. Learn the effects of shape, structure, weight, and spacing of copperplate letters.

Contemporary examples are provided of commercial and fine art calligraphy. This book is perfect, whether you are an expert or just a beginner.
Developed by English handwriting masters in the 18th century, copperplate calligraphy is admired for its fluidity and beauty. It is the most popular style for social correspondence, invitations, and other communications requiring an elegant hand. With this easy-to-follow manual and some practice, calligraphers will be able to create copperplate scripts with the rhythm, grace, and ease of the great writing masters.
