Maryanne Grebenstein established a professional calligraphy studio in 1982 called The Abbey Studio.
The studio produces hand lettered documents as well as offering courses on Calligraphy. The studio also
conducts manuscript study tours to museums and libraries in the United States and Europe.
Grebenstein also teaches at the North Bennet Street School in Boston, at MassArt, and The Corcoran
College of Art and Design in Washington D.C.
The Complete Calligrapher is a complete guide to the art of calligraphy. It has easy step by step
instructions from selecting pens, mastering the alphabets, advanced letter illumination and design.
The book gives instructions for simple to advanced projects for the reader to discover his or her own
calligraphic art.
The book is cleverly written with worksheets, art, projects and very complete instructions. I highly
Recommend this book for anyone who is interested in accomplishing some beautiful writing.
