★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Calligraphy is all about slow, steady downstrokes. Practise the basic strokes before whole words. Ten minutes a day beats an hour once a month.

Questions About Calligraphy, Lettering & Journalling

What is the best calligraphy set for beginners?

A brush pen set is the easiest starting point for modern calligraphy, with no ink or nibs to manage. For traditional calligraphy, choose a beginner dip pen set that includes a holder, a few nibs and ink.

What is the difference between calligraphy and hand lettering?

Calligraphy is the art of writing letters with a pen or brush in a series of strokes. Hand lettering is drawing letters, often building them up and refining them like an illustration. Many people enjoy both.

What pens are best for bullet journalling?

Fine pigment liners are ideal for text and borders because they are waterproof and do not smudge. Add brush pens for headings and a few decorative pens for colour.

Why are my brush pens fraying?

Rough paper wears down brush tips quickly. Use smooth paper, such as a marker or layout pad, and hold the pen at an angle rather than pressing straight down.

Where can I buy calligraphy supplies in Australia?
