Pocket Guide to Calligraphy

Originallly published as: A guide to calligraphy by William Mitchell Limited, 2021.

Joy Daniels - Joy’s passion for calligraphy began in 1979 after attending a weekend course. Since then she has been a poster writer with a silkscreen printer, a professional illustrated letter writer and sign writer. Today, in between commercial and commissioned work, Joy likes to further her study of calligraphy by attending other tutors’ workshops whenever possible, and traveling teaching hand lettering for regional calligraphy groups. It gives Joy great pleasure to bring out the creativity in others, especially people who think they’re not ’artistic’, and she always encourages her fellow calligraphers to share ideas and to give and receive encouragement. Joy enjoys learning and teaching - and always will!

Nicola Dunn - With a qualification in Training and Development, Nicola has been teaching calligraphy at beginner and intermediate levels for many years. Nicola now uses her skills commercially - from creating personalized designs and stationery for large-scale events to bespoke hand-lettered keepsakes for individual clients. She is also a member of a regional calligraphy group based in London, where she regularly organizes workshops and courses with a range of tutors. For Nicola, the learning process for calligraphy continues and she expects will never stop - the joy of picking up a pen and doodling for fun, over the many years of working on her craft, is still undiminished.
