As an avid Arts and Crafts enthusiast, I have tried multiple calligraphy sets before, but this one truly stands out. As a result of my tests, I determined that this set has high-quality materials and offers a great range of nib sizes, allowing for flexibility in design.

Pros
  • Wide variety of nibs and ink colors to choose from, allowing for versatile calligraphy designs.
Cons
  • May require some practice to properly utilize all of the different nibs and achieve desired results.

Solid Starter Kit

Great starter kit for anyone learning the basics of drawing or getting started with pen and ink. Good entry-level pens for writing but not for drawing or sketching.

Pros
  • INCLUDES PEN HOLDER and ink. Includes (1) Standard Speedball Pen Holder and (1) Super Black Indian Speedball Ink (20 oz)
Cons
  • Out of Fashion

Suggested Improvements: I wish the instructions on how to deep dive the handles were clearer. I had to study the anatomy of this pen to figure out what…

Pros
  • HANDMADE QUALITY PEN - Includes (3) C-style pens (C1, C2, C3)
Cons
  • Something different
