Atlas Obscura:
Lester is a British calligrapher who shares video snippets of his impeccable penmanship on YouTube and Instagram. Take, for example, the video above. It’s a weekly shopping list in which the word “Pop Tarts” somehow conjures images of gleaming silverware and starched tablecloths.
Sadly, this kind of incredible penmanship is a dying art in the age of keyboards and iPhones (I literally can’t remember the last time I wrote more than a few words on a piece of paper) but it is fascinating to watch a master calligrapher create.
Calligraphy is still being taught; there are always folks in the Society for Creative Anachronism willing to instruct someone interested in the craft.
Back in 2007, I attended a HOW design conference in Atlanta which turned out to be of limited use. One of the exceptions was seeing a representative from Linotype, John Downer, in the vendors’ area who did live calligraphy demonstrations. Had I discovered him sooner, I might have gotten on the waiting line early enough to get my name done in impeccable brushwork on card.
