Review: Brilliant, clear instruction - This (like all the '... for dummies' series) is a great source of information and instruction. Definitely the best place to start with calligraphy. My only complaint is that not all of the websites identified in the book are still accessible. A website identified within the book as providing downloads of practice sheets is no longer available - and practice sheets are really needed for calligraphy. Trying to photocopy from the book itself is not ideal. Otherwise, brilliant book and the author really knows his stuff.

Definitely the best place to start with calligraphy. My only complaint is that not all of the websites identified in the book are still accessible.

I would definitely recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calligraphy for Dummies *by A***E on 14 January 2021* Having just commenced working with calligraphy as a hobby (and mindful practice), I started watching several helpful videos online. But I was looking for something more comprehensive, and this book came up as a recommendation. Overall, everything is well explained, including using the right materials, selecting the appropriate pens, setting up your drawing board, and thinking about your posture and position to get the best out of Calligraphy. Several scripts are covered, and the exercise lessons plus the practice pages make this a useful resource for the beginner. Part IV of the book introduces projects to which this visual art of writing can be applied. I still have much to learn, but "Calligraphy for Dummies" has provided me with a helpful start. ## Frequently Bought Together - Calligraphy For Dummies - Studio Series Calligraphy Paper Pad: 50 Sheets - PANDAFLY Calligraphy Pen, 10 Size Calligraphy Pens for Writing, Brush Pens Calligraphy Set for Beginners, Hand Lettering Pen for Art Drawing, Sketching, Scrapbooking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48115610-calligraphy-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48115610-calligraphy-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
