A high quality calligraphy kit for absolute beginners! Teach yourself calligraphy in a modern, quirky style with a traditional dip pen and ink. This boxed kit has everything you need to take your first steps on a calligraphy adventure, including a quality A5 notebook with handwritten cover, choice of nibs, guidelines and alphabets.

Finished with a pretty ribbon (styles may vary) and printed label - this kit is presented with the greatest attention to detail and makes a perfect gift for anyone of a crafty persuasion!

Full list of contents:
- A5 kraft coloured box with ribbon
- A5 notebook, unlined, with black cover and white pages
- 1 bottle of black calligraphy ink
- polished wooden pen holder
- choice of 2 calligraphy nibs
- 1 alphabet sampler
- printed gridlines

The alphabet and gridlines will help you become familiar with the calligraphy pen and nibs as you learn to write. I recommend finding a quiet half hour, sweeping your desk clean and learning a little calligraphy at a time. Writing beautiful letters is a wonderful skill to have and you'll soon be adding your gorgeous squiggles to everything from birthday cards to gift tags for your friends and loved ones.

The most important thing - enjoy learning calligraphy!
