This alphabet workbook comes with detailed instructions to get you started on your calligraphy journey such as how to hold the pen, how to prepare your nib and advice when choosing materials.

First, you’ll make the basic strokes and use them to write the alphabet with plenty of tracing examples and space to practice. The best bit about these worksheets - the alphabet is grouped into letters that are formed in a similar way so you’ll master a group of letters at a time.

Included are lots of words and sentiments to trace and copy so you can begin hand lettering for your own creative projects.
