Inkspired: Creating calligraphy

I find this a beautiful book, full of inspiration. A joy to read and a book to use whenever I want. She’s a delightful lady to be acquainted with through the pages of her exquisite writing and as for the place she lives - well!! It’s my ‘go to’ city!

This is not merely a how-to calligraphy book but a book to inspire you to have fun and be creative in your individual way. Beautiful photos, ideas of writing on leaves, writing with vegetables even, writing on black paper with white ink. The message is to do it your way, as there's no right or wrong, there's only the fun of finding your own creativity. This would make a great present.

Lovely book to read, to look at, to Inspire. Gives insight into how personal handwriting is and how creative you can be with it - just buy it xx Cheers Betty xx

This is a lovely book. Inspirational. I started using it as soon as I received it. There is a quite a nice background story about the author too. I would have given 5 stars but the front cover had a blue biro pen mark on it which I was unable to remove

I love Inkspired. So good to start writing again. (after so much type) Swirls and stars, really inspiring book of calligraphy.

i just love it. The paper quality, the colours, the words written on...it' s all so precious. I wanted it as a Christmas gift but ended up buying it myself and i do not regret it! truly INKspiring :)

Not what I was thinking it would be, so unfortunately I have to return it.

Dearest Betty, I cannot tell you how wonderful you and your book are! It is so beautiful and each page brings something unique i haven't seen in any other calligraphy book. So special!!! Thank you for sending me this! i'll have to check if it's available in Australia as it will be a very good Christmas present. Sabine Pick.

A very inspirational and beautifully presented book full of wonderful ideas and exercises. Highly recommended for anyone interested in calligraphy.

Betty Sordi is a warm and friendly writer and her instruction isn’t a lecture but an invitation to discover the joy in lettering. By inviting the reader through bits of story, encouragement and stardust, Sordi transforms the learning of calligraphy from a stodgy, structured tedium, to a reconnection to self through the curve, sail, and flourish of handwriting. This book is fun to read and the instruction is engaging and inspiring. I have rediscovered my love of lettering and enjoyed losing myself in this happy book - you’ll enjoy it too!

Like the whole book. Great gift for friends !

I love this book! It is more for people that want to freestyle calligraphy with their own style of writing. Don’t buy if you want formal instructions for traditional calligraphy. Great book to dip into. Just open at any page and be inspired! Artistic and Inspiring!

What a fun personality, happy vibes book and so inspiring to dare something swirly and creative
