Imogen Owen runs her letterpress and lettering studio of the same name in the UK. Starting with designing and printing letterpress stationery, Imogen then started to see the beautiful modern calligraphy that was becoming popular in the US. Desperate to be able to do this, she ordered all the available supplies and set about teaching herself. Imogen taught the first modern calligraphy workshops in the UK and her courses continue to sell out. Imogen has worked with a range of high-profile clients and her work has been featured in numerous publications and blogs. Since Modern Calligraphy was published in 2017, Imogen has continued to build her brand, collaborating with brands including Chanel, Sony, and Fortnum & Mason.

Artists of intermediate or advanced skill level will find this sophisticated guide a perfect resource that also speaks straightforwardly enough to beginners. - Library Journal
