Latin calligraphy
Everything can be learned, and calligraphy too. On this page, I share the best information so that you can follow my news, useful links and upcoming courses. You'll also find courses organised by the association Calli&co, I'd like to thank the members of the association I set up, my partners and my links to the small world of calligraphy.
Where to start
If you want to get started and you're a beginner, I can't recommend highly enough the video by my colleague Serge CORTESI, which shows in a very educational way what you absolutely need to know to get off to a good start. I couldn't do better! Follow the link Youtube

Courses run by the Calli&co association
A few years ago, I set up the association Calli&co, the aim of the association is to run calligraphy classes and share creativity in a friendly, fun atmosphere. Today, a programme is taking shape. Three courses are being organised between April and June 2025 in Paris.
I'm always available to give courses anywhere in France and abroad. If you have such a project in mind, please contact me directly. I don't do workshops for schools, except art schools.
And very soon, a new, very comprehensive site will open, with many videos for online courses, in French and English.
Guillaume Shaffhauser
La Gohique Fraktur est une calligraphie très stylée. Entre classique et street-art, à connaitre assurément !
Julien Chazal
La Ronde est un style de calligraphie très français qui fait un peu scolaire au premier abord. Mais elle correspondra à tous, débutant, mais aussi aux plus aguerris.
