Beschreibung

Kirsten Burke's Little Book of Calming Calligraphy is full of beautiful quotes and patterns to trace, alongside inspirational examples from Kirsten herself. This book is designed to give you a break from the stresses of your busy day, even if it's only for 5 minutes, to lose yourself in the rhythmic strokes of your lettering. Focus on her favourite uplifting words as you practise your calligraphy skills, with short exercises from 5 to 30 minutes, so no matter how little time you have, you are sure to be able to fit some calming calligraphy into your day. Peppered with helpful reminders and tips from Kirsten, the book is aimed at those who have some experience in calligraphy and are looking for a relaxing opportunity to practise. For those who have not tried their hand at calligraphy before, we suggest reading Kirsten Burke's Secrets of Modern Calligraphy for more in-depth tutorials on how to master the art of modern calligraphy.

Kirsten Burke has been a professional calligrapher for more than twenty years and is one of the leading lettering artists working in the UK. After qualifying with a degree in graphic design, Kirsten completed a postgrad course in traditional calligraphy, illuminated lettering, gilding and bookbinding.

In 1997, Kirsten and her friend Jill Hembling set up The Modern Calligraphy Company and Kirsten became the 'Master Calligrapher' for Estee Lauder luxury brands including Jo Malone, Tom Ford, Creme de la Mer, Bobby Brown and Rolls Royce. Kirsten Burke Design has been commissioned to do work on behalf of clients including HM The Queen, the President of China, BBC, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Grey Goose Vodka, Harley Davidson and The Guardian.
