While browsing, came across some of the learning resources on calligraphy. A lot of Project Ideas are mentioned at Dancing Pen Caligraphy. Exhibtion of the work by some of world renowned calligraphers is interesting and can be visited at Calligraphy Expo. The project participants are from almost every corner of the globe. It has books on calligraphy mainly in Russian. I would like to recommend Art of Calligraphy by David Harris which is in English. We can down load the book here.
Three Indian Calligraphers Achyut Palav, Manohar Desai and Qamar Dagar have also exhibited thier work. Specially I am great fan of Achyut Palav and my brother is trained at his School of Calligraphy.
