Expert Guidance for Your Perfect Supplies

Selecting a pen holder is crucial for comfort and control. We offer straight holders for Copperplate and Spencerian, oblique holders for precise slants, and universal holders for versatility. Consider your hand size, preferred grip, and the specific script you aim to master. Our team can guide you to the perfect fit.

Nibs are the heart of your calligraphy. Fine-point flex nibs create delicate hairlines and bold swells, ideal for flourishing. Broad-edge nibs produce varied line widths based on angle, perfect for Gothic or Italic scripts. We stock a wide array for every style and skill level.

Ink selection impacts both aesthetics and flow. Our inks range from sumi for rich blacks, iron gall for permanence, to vibrant pigment-based options. Always store inks upright in a cool, dark place, and clean your nib thoroughly after each use to prevent corrosion and buildup. Never mix different ink types in the same container.
