Traditional Dip Pen Calligraphy Starter Set (Left-Handed)

Everything a beginner needs to start traditional broad-edge calligraphy in one set, made up specifically for left-handed calligraphers. The ten William Mitchell left oblique nibs are cut for a comfortable left-handed pen angle, and the William Mitchell guide book takes you through several historical hands.

The set contains:

• Set of ten William Mitchell Round Hand left oblique nibs, with reservoir and pen holder
• Rhodia plain pad (A4)
• Rousy Panther Black ink (30ml)
• William Mitchell 'Guide to Calligraphy' book, covering Foundational Hand, Italics, Uncial and Gothic
• Four ruled guideline sheets to place under your paper

This set is made up for left-handed calligraphers, with left oblique nibs. A right-handed version, with square cut nibs, is also available.

New nibs come with a fine lacquer coating from manufacture that repels ink, so it is worth removing before first use. Our short guide on how to prepare nibs explains three simple ways to do it.
