For years, my students have asked me for the calligraphy pens, nibs, tools, and accessories that I would recommend for them, mostly beginners.
I decided to compile my recommendations on this page with links for you to purchase them directly from where I purchase them, at the same price that I pay.
By choosing to purchase from the links on this page, you are choosing to support me with a small commission without any additional cost to you.

You will require many many ink cartridges. Begin with black, but load up so you don't run out in the middle of a project.
