• A Guide to Calligraphy Inks

    Considering the variety of calligraphy inks on the market, finding the right one might seem overwhelming. Fear not; this guide is here to help you find some standout choices and their perfect uses!

    Among other things, the course has an Ink Collection page and a Nib Collection page to help you organize your supplies. A big part of being an intermediate calligrapher is knowing what nibs/inks to use for what project.
    I like to use the “My Ink Collection” page from the Intermediate Modern Calligraphy Online Course to keep track of my inks.

    When it comes to calligraphy, the ink you choose can profoundly affect your work’s outcome. With so many options available, I’ve curated a guide on some standout inks that have consistently delivered for me over the years. My hope is that this guide will demystify the ink selection process for you, allowing you to make informed choices that best suit your artistic needs!
