My Favorite Calligraphy Supplies

As a calligrapher, the world of stationery is so vast. Over the years of teaching and writing, I have collected some of my favorite supplies. Here are my top favorites!

There is no right or wrong way to go about learning calligraphy and learning to grow your own skill. Growing your skillset starts with one set of materials and then grows in so many directions as you find new styles, new pens, and new ink types.

Here are my recommendations and favorite items I love to use!

My Everyday Items:

Practice Pad (shop on Amazon) - great for on the go practice

Brush Pens (shop on Amazon) - perfect for travel, can practice anywhere without worrying about spilled ink

Straight Pen (shop on Amazon) - great cushioned handle for long-term comfort

Nikko G Nib (shop on Amazon) - great nib that isn't too stiff, but not too flexible

Tracing Paper (shop on Amazon) - smooth tracing paper, love to use for practice
