This is absolutely the best resource to learn the pointed pen alphabets. Having a virtual teacher available to show me the strokes from the comfort of my home was an invaluable asset to me, small town gal. Thanks so much for your work on this website. Digital is good, but the pen is STILL mightier than the sword!

Greetings from DownUnder!
Very many thanks for all that you provide. I hope I can add a link to your Association in my new book, 'Calligraphy for Greetings Cards and Scrapbooking' due to be published early in 2012 by GMC Publications in the UK, but which will be sold worldwide.
All best wishes,
Peter

Have done Calligraphy off and on for 35 years. More off than on and mainly using broad nibs. My daughter is getting married and I want to calligraphy her invitations and envelopes. Found this website and fell in love with Copperplate! Bought an oblique holder and some new nibs. All I do now is practice my letters! Where can I get envelope guidelines? Thank you for a wonderful resource to all levels of calligraphers!

Guidelines for various types of lettering can be found here: http://www.iampeth.com/collection/guide-sheets
I hope that helps. The guidelines you will need for your envelopes, will depend on the size of your envelopes and the size of your writing.

I was just wondering if my problems going from a shade to a thin line were my skills(or lack of) , or my equipment. I am using a homemade oblique and a speedball 101. I seem to drag a bit of ink behind me on the transitions.I have a lot of trouble going back to a thin line in a short time. It is only in the short changes like Joes lowercase "O" (top that is giving me problems. Any help would be great. :-)

I want to join and learn more! So inspired...g

Excellent site that I found by chance. Researching fountain pens led me to this site, and boy I think I am hooked! Did caligraphy back in high school, and I remember penmanship classes in grammer school. I have inherited excellent handwriting from my parents, I love to write mainly in cursive (script?), and even get to use it at work in a computer environment! Thanks, and Copperplate/Engrossers here I come!!

This is a great website! I've done calligraphy off and on since I was 11, and I'm trying to make it a regular practice for my own enjoyment.

Hello. My father (79 years old) just passed away. I noticed his neat penmanship, upon going thru his papers I found his palmer certificate, dated 1945 and looked up palmer. Thought you might like to know.

I have studied all forms of handwriting from questioned to profiling from handwriting for many years. While looking up another matter, I saw you site and electronically came right over. This is an amazing site. When I finish this I will join. Thank you so very much for allowing us to look further into the art of handwriting.
