4.0 out of 5 stars Great for anyone beginning Calligraphy, December 7, 2008

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.

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.
