Welcome to our journey into the world of calligraphy. If you happen to be a beginner, I wrote Calligraphy For Dummies with you in mind, and this website serves as a supplement to make your calligraphy journey fun, easy, and inexpensive. Let's make your calligraphy experience enjoyable and fulfilling!

Over the past 40 years, I have taught hundreds of individuals the art of calligraphy. Throughout this journey, I have identified the most common challenges students face in mastering this elegant craft. In response, I have designed a new style of letters—EZScript—that addresses these challenges, making the beginning of the learning process smoother and more enjoyable. These letters truly are worth their weight in gold!

The Benefits of Calligraphy
In a world awash with chaos, calligraphy is a quiet refuge—a sanctuary where tranquility dances with the flow of ink.

More than mere strokes on paper, calligraphy invites the mind to concentrate, to ponder life's deepest musings and timeless truths.

This website, paired with the accompanying book, offers a journey—an immersive and interactive exploration into the graceful art of calligraphy.

Its simplicity is its charm -- pen, ink, and paper are your companions in this artistic voyage.

Calligraphy is not just an art form; it is a portal to a realm of countless benefits, especially for those who, like myself are goledn agers, continue to embrace life's vibrant possibilities. From health and social enrichment to creative fulfillment and business opportunities, the benefits abound. Stress melts away with each mindful stroke, and cognitive function flourishes—both outcomes supported by research.
