Traditional Dip Pen Calligraphy Starter Set (Right-Handed)

Everything a beginner needs to start traditional broad-edge calligraphy in one set. The ten William Mitchell square cut nibs cover a full range of sizes, and the William Mitchell guide book takes you through several historical hands, so you have both the tools and the instruction to begin.

The set contains:

• Set of ten William Mitchell Round Hand square cut 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 right-handed calligraphers. A left-handed version, with left oblique 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.
