B2769. Foundations of Calligraphy by Sheila Waters. (2006) (2018) 2023. 150pp. 9"x11.25". Concealed spiral binding
**BRAND NEW 2023 EDITION**
This brand new edition of Sheila Waters' renowned Foundations of Calligraphy features an updated bio, new blue cover and 10+ stunning additions to the gallery pages, including multiple fold-out masterpieces.
Sheila Waters was a master scribe and a master teacher. For over thirty years of her summer workshops, Sheila took scribes through their paces for a week or more of in-depth instruction in letterforms (historical and modern). Students came from as far away as Australia and Japan for these intensive classes. And for many years, she taught numerous weekend workshops sponsored by calligraphy guilds throughout the USA and Canada and was a frequent instructor at the international conference held each summer.
In Foundations, Sheila provides insightful analysis of forms and construction, taking the mystery out of learning calligraphy. You learn how to analyze a script, which helps you toward mastery of an alphabet. In the 110 pages of exemplar alphabets, instruction, and hints, Sheila shares with you the knowledge she gathered over her years of study and practice. The presentation is honed by her long experience teaching calligraphers how to advance their skill and art.

Marvelous Book
Am so happy to own this marvelous book - and a copy of the Sheila's Roundel of the Seasons, always in pride of place on my wall. A treasure!

One of the best!
I've been a calligrapher for close to fifty years, and, yes, even now find I need a good reference book to refer to at times, and Sheila's book is usually it. Foundations of Calligraphy is one of the best and should be in every calligrapher's library. Sandy

A Gift to All Calligraphers
Sheila was trained in her native England and her move here decades ago changed the course of calligraphy in this country. She is the end all and be all of classic letterform. She has been a tireless and demanding teacher for so many years through her summer classes (now co-taught with Julian Waters) and at conferences and workshops; her influence is inestimable. This book is a gift to all who will never have a chance to study with her personally -- and everyone who has.

Sheila Waters
I attended one of Sheila Water's summer sessions taught at her home when she lived in Gaithersburg, Maryland. She was an incredible teacher and her book is the best one for traditional calligraphic hands.
