 Great for anyone beginning CalligraphyDec 07, 2008
By Nathan Beauchamp
"ConsumerAdvocate"
This set is a great 'beginner' set for anyone who would like to learn calligraphy. The pens included are not high quality, but they are more than sufficient for practice. The paper provided is like tracing paper, and allows you to place it over a practice source and trace each letter or sentence. Sometimes the ink can bleed through the paper, so be careful not to press too hard.
Pros:
Many ink refills included in the package
A good basics of calligraphy book included
Priced very well
Cons:
The pens are not high quality, but that hardly matters at the price.
Summary:
This is a great bargain for anyone who would like to start calligraphy. Also would be a great Christmas present for an artistic child.

Excellent starter kit!Jan 31, 2010
By Joe Krenn
An excellent starter kit for anyone interested in learning the art of the calligraphy. Contains many different ink colors and three different nib sizes as well as a small booklet on the basics of different types of fonts to write with. The gothic style is my favorite and my writing with this set is actually a lot better looking than my regular handwriting.

A good basic set to learn with.Mar 29, 2009
By C. Wollin
I bought this when it was a Gold Box special and gave it to my son for Christmas. He was very happy with it and has used it quite a bit. It comes with plenty of extra ink and some practice paper. Not the best set, but great for someone wanting to try calligraphy.
