Ever wondered how to make gild? Wonder no more!,

This review is from: The Calligrapher's Handbook (Paperback)
This is probably the essential reference for calligraphers wanting to move beyond writing on paper and with randomly purchased inks.Most books on calligraphy technique are largely devoted to lettering guides and some minimal instruction on materials. Not this one! The book contains a series of chapters written by acknowledged experts in the field. This book is about gilding described in more detail, about cutting quills, about binding books, about preparing vellum. In short, about all those lovely calligraphy materials and techniques so often described in aggravating inadequacy in so many calligraphic how-to's. Written well, that even the most fearful beginner can follow the instructions, this book is a boon for every calligrapher who wants to move beyond copying the ductus. |
