Bill’s Space is aimed at anyone who has a love of calligraphy, or lettering. Especially beginners and those who are having trouble getting started. Featuring videos and worksheets, links and articles, all with a bias toward art, calligraphy, lettering, and teacher’s resources, and updated as new material comes to my notice.
Originally set up to promote good lettering, Bill’s Space has now metamorphosed into an all round meeting point for artists, calligraphers and teachers, worldwide, to relax while they search for that little something different to put in their resources locker.
The Group, CALLIGRAPHY at Bill’s Space Mk II, has been set up on Facebook to run alongside the original site. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience come and join in the fun. The more experienced scribe is encouraged to give help and assistance where needed.
I recommend that beginners go straight to Getting Started in Calligraphy where you will find a guide to what you need to get started and links to the various lessons.
If you are looking for inspiration a browse through the links pages might just give you the nudge you need.
If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me through the contact box here-under.
I hope you enjoy your visit. Please come again and tell your friends.
Keep watching this space.
Cheers.

Hi Bill my name is Gina Carter or that’s what you know me by Tony told me he met you at a class in Wardown Park. He told me about you and gave me your details, a blast from the past. I now live in Wales and my face book name is Ginette Lott sent a friend request so I thought I had better explain who I was. Lived here for 37 years now and don’t have the advantage of bumping into old friends, love your site!i’m into drawing and watercolour painting not brilliant but love painting birds and animals, trees.

Handwriting has always been important to me I think because it was taught so early in my schooling. It is an art! I hope they never stop teaching it.

Hello Bill. My wife and I are celebrating our 60th birthdays with a special dinner at Luton Hoo in June. We have 40 place cards and would really like to have our guests’ names written in a professional style. Is this something you would be able to help us with?

Hi there
Myself and my fiancée are looking for a calligrapher to write our vows in a small book we have for each other.
Do you provide this service at all? If so how much would it cost?
The wedding is on 1 October 2018
