Anyone can master the beautiful art of calligraphy, a rewarding pursuit that requires few tools and no artistic training. This practical guide ― the only book that teaches the basic Italic hand (also known as Chancery Cursive) in ten easy steps ― offers comprehensive instructions for beginners. Two expert calligraphers show how to get started, with definitions of terms and suggestions for assembling materials, choosing a good writing surface, lighting the work space, posture, placement of the paper, setting up the page, and assembling the pen. After demonstrating how to make the basic calligraphic strokes, they give specific instructions for forming letters, numbers, and punctuation. Readers will also find detailed discussions of spacing and connecting letters; forming words and sentences; drawing "swash" capitals; changing nibs; using color; making corrections; and waterproofing their work.Students will also discover an exciting variety of applications for their new skills, including addressing envelopes, making invitations, creating personalized stationery, and transcribing special texts or poems. Additional helpful features include a section of questions and answers and an appendix covering pens, inks, paper, light boxes, and other useful tools for using the basic Italic hand to create elegant works of calligraphic art.

High quality, reliable
Model: Pop up outlet-black
The units looked really cool and were of excellent quality. They popped up reliably albeit slowly which was fine with me. I was really looking forward to using these in a built in cabinet we're making but they did not fit where I wanted them so I had to send them back. I would buy these again if I ever had a project that needed them.

Good buy and very useful accessory as a cut in on a table.
Model: Pop up outlet-black
Bought these for a new built in enclosed patio buffet table. Everyone always needs plugs for phones, computers, iPads, etc. This is perfect and cover recesses to minimize exposure although mine is not exposed to outside weather.
