"Arrived on time"
I purchased this item as a present for someone. It arrived promptly and the person was very pleased.

"Calligraphy Kit"
The kit that arrived was wonderful except for the quality of the pens. The ink did not write well at all. I thought that it was a problem with the paper that I was using, but it was actually just the pen and the ink. It tends to smear a lot, I would not purchase this product, I'm in the process of finding a better quality set of calligraphy pens.

"A good basic set to learn with."
I bought this when it was a Gold Box special and gave it to my son for Christmas. He was very happy with it and has used it quite a bit. It comes with plenty of extra ink and some practice paper. Not the best set, but great for someone wanting to try calligraphy.

"Everything you need to get started"
This item is an excellent kit for anyone interested in calligraphy. It contains everything needed for beginners or advanced calligraphers. I was very impressed with the quality of the instruments and the variety. Great value!!

"Great for anyone beginning Calligraphy"
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.

What our customer's say!

"Avoid Shaeffer Pens", I may or may not pick up this kit, but from long experience with many very good pens, I've learned one thing -- Shaeffer pens are dreadful. It doesn't matter whether it's a cheap or a pricey model, it will leak all over the place and the nibs don't write well.

I've had the same experience with Cross pens, which to the uninitiated in the world of good pens always seem to be the best you can get. I've had a good many of them, and even a Cross pencil never worked right.

When I get to it, I'm hopping over to Fahrney's pens and purchase a good calligraphy pen.

The comment by another reviewer -- that the practice paper in the kit was so thin it bled all over the image being copied -- means I probably won't buy this kit. Leaking Shaeffer pens are bad enough; leaking through the practice paper is really outrageous!

I've noticed of late that certain vendors sell "kits" of pens or pencils or other art media, and when you get them, you'll have almost no paper to work on and the vendor never tells you what kind of paper you need to work on the kind of media you're tackling.

You're best off if you try vendors that sell art materials or that sell GOOD pens! Yes, you're going to spend a lot of money on a really good pen [think Montblanc Meisterstuck used-to-be-called the "Diplomat" -- which 15+ years ago set me back around [...] -- but that pen still works as well for me as it did the day it arrived. You do the math -- it comes out to about [...] year, and nowdays you're going to spend almost [...] on 4 or 5 felt-tip pens. Where would you rather spend your money?

"calligraphy pen set", I bought it as a gift for someone who loves to draw and they loved it! The set comes with different colors and three pens to choose from

"Love this kit", This kit is great. There is actually a book inside with examples of different calligraphy styles and an unlined practice pad. The inks aren't labelled with their color so that is kind of a guessing game, but other than that it is a great product.

"Excellent starter kit!", 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.

"Very nice item", I recieved this item in record time, and I love the quality of it!! Thank you
