THE TREASURE TROVE

"Tamer is more than a nice #calligrageek, he is an engaging teacher, truly passionate of his craft, who generously shares his knowledge in this newsletter.

I only read two newsletters from start to finish, and this is one of them.

I have made better choices, selecting my #calligratools following Tamer's savvy advice, I've refined my eye to recognize when I'm doing a good piece of practice and when I'm not "in the zone", and I have [been] amused with his particular #calligrahumor and #calligraneologism!

In sum, I highly recommend you to sign up, because it's not only worth your time to read, learn, and laugh; it's free!"

Everything Tamer touches is golden. What I enjoy most about his newsletter is that the content is solid and helps me understand aspects of blackletter that are endlessly interesting. I love his tutorials and have watched them on repeat. Tamer is super generous with his knowledge and responsive to your questions. Keep up the excellent work, Tamer! You are helping us on many levels. MANY THANKS!

"The newsletter helps me with my confidence and keeps me motivated.

Tamer is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend his approach.

I especially like the newsletter because it offers a ton of useful information related to lettering."

"Tamer and the Black Letter Foundry have helped me [to] no end and are the central reason i got back into Calligraphy.

I started my journey 50 years ago at school and stumbled upon his tutorials and tools and it brought the wonderment back into my life.

His calming nature and unbounding knowledge will help guide anyone into the world of lettering and calligraphy from beginner to advanced and his support is second to none.

I highly recommend him and the Black Foundry Family and hope it opens up your world into Calligraphy like it did to mine."

"My favorite thing about the Blackletter Foundry’s newsletter is Tamer! He’s warm, personable and authentic and
gives so much valuable, well researched information to the calligraphy world.

I so appreciate his free tutorials and budget friendly courses as I’m someone who likes to dip my toes into all types of calligraphy.

You can tell when someone truly has a passion for what they do and they love sharing it-that’s Tamer!

P.S. Look for his P.S. in the newsletter 😉"

"An excellent source of inky inspiration!

"Tamer's newsletter is always packed full of inspiration and cool ideas. I love that it's about lettering but he ties it into little life lessons. I love how honestly Tamer shows up for his readers.

I always enjoy reading these! Even if the topic doesn't pertain to me directly, I always read these in full because they're interesting as well as informative.

I appreciate all the content and information that Tamer shares."

Kat

"I am interested in learning calligraphy and lettering art and came across Tamer's Instagram account. I enjoy(ed) the freebies and am looking forward to using them when following Tamer's tutorials on YouTube. His art is superb.

The content of the newsletter is interesting and I actually read the entire text (usually I 'surf' through newsletters and only stop and read when something catches my attention).

Tamer's text is easy to read, full of information and I enjoy it very much. I would recommend the newsletter to those potential readers who actually would like to learn calligraphy and/or lettering art."

Marina Ripa-Braescu

"Nice to meet you. I find your videos very educational, and the material you have provided through the subscription of great quality. It has helped me a lot in choosing suitable materials for calligraphy.

The circular templates have been very useful for a project I am doing, with them the work is more comfortable. I get the inspiration ideas from the Latin classics. I find them very appropriate for Gothic calligraphy. They give it strength.

Of course, I will recommend your page to my acquaintances and friends. For me it is a reference currently. I thank you for the effort, dedication and time spent to make this great art known. Greetings"

Manuel Olivares

"Calligraphy has always been a favourite subject of mine especially the blackletter styles and of early periods your mail is always welcome"

Philip Quinn

"Science and art are in a perfect marriage brought by Tamer. The thoughtful research, experimentation, and explanation of various aspects of lettering and calligraphy enhance the artistry that he teaches and displays.

For those of us who are not classically trained or inherently artistic, these aspects greatly enhance understanding and practice of the lettering arts. Thank-you, Tamer, for your fascinating newsletters and videos. I look forward to receiving them and knowing that I will have an illuminating read."

Ann Pettigrew

"Whether you're serious or a dilettante when it comes to Blackletter, Tamer's honesty about his own struggles, and his encouragement to just try,
makes his newsletter a bright spot in this world."

Cris

"Hi Tamer. I've learned a lot from ya. Even had my 7 yr old see your vids. She learned some shortcuts on procreate. And of course I have to. Hehe keep that info coming . Kuddos bro"

Joe Lara

"Hi! I just enjoy being in a calligraphy society. I do not use any of those devises that you've recently talked about, but I love your vision and really enjoy getting a newsletter from you. It's full of vivid calligralife that matters! tnks"

"While a newsletter is a newsletter, it has the feel of a personal note as it includes things about Tamer (the Ups [see how I used an upper case "u" for the "up" but a lower (as in down) case for the "down" and downs of his life and business?] I think Tamer is rubbing off on me!) as well as extremely relevant information...

In a word, I really like the Tamletter. Keep 'em coming!"

Mason

"Thank you for your content"
