This Calligraphy Kit from Walter Foster is designed as a literal "Day 1" set for those who have never used a calligraphy pen before. Its primary strength is the included instructional booklet, which provides clear guidance for the first-time hobbyist. The pen body is made from lightweight ABS plastic, which is designed to be durable for household use while remaining easy for beginners to handle as they learn new writing techniques.
The set uses standard international short cartridges, which are widely available and easy to replace. The stainless steel nibs are quite rigid, which can be helpful for beginners as it provides a stable feel on the page. To get the best results, using smooth paper will help the ink flow more evenly and prevent the nib from catching. The kit also includes a storage tray to help you keep your pens and ink organized when you aren't using them.
- Clear instructional booklet makes this a very beginner-friendly option.
- Standard cartridge system allows for easy and mess-free ink changes.
- Lightweight design is well-suited for those just starting to learn the hobby.
For those who want to try a more advanced pen with a metal body and bottled ink, the Wordsworth & Black Gift Set is a great next step.
