While driving down Main today buffalo bliss and I decided to stop into Hyatt's Art Supply to look around at all of the cool, creative stuff. Hyatt's is the place to go when you're feeling inspired to draw, frame, paint, dye, bead, and decoupage. While walking down one of the aisles we discovered a section devoted to calligraphy. The world of calligraphy is open to beginners and experts alike, and Hyatt's has the collections and accessories to get anyone set up to practice this lost art.
Calligraphy (from Greek kallos "beauty" + graph "writing") is the art of beautiful writing (Mediavilla 1996: 17). A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice is "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious and skillful manner" (Mediavilla 1996: 18). A style of calligraphy is described as a hand or alphabet (Johnston 1909: Plate 6). -Wikipedia
