Description
The TPK Modern Calligraphy Starter Kit is the very best kit out there. After years of teaching students — both in person and online — I have a unique understanding of the tools and instructions that ensure your success! That’s why this kit includes:
- Nikko G nib – the most approachable calligraphy nib for most beginners
- Brause EF66 nib – a wonderful little nib that will give you dramatic stroke contrast
- Straight pen with universal insert that will fit most calligraphy nibs
- Oblique pen with a flange that we hand-adjusted to fit the Nikko G nib like a glove
- Tightly woven cleaning cloth* to keep your nibs nice and dry
- Yasutomo sumi ink (2 oz.) – A velvety Japanese sumi ink that I use both personally and in workshops
- Glass jar with gold lid (1 oz.) for long-term ink storage
- 25-page workbook (5.5″ x 8.5″) chock-full of beginner information and guided practice
- Exclusive access to a special password-protected corner of the TPK website to support your calligraphic endeavors
Kit dimensions: 9.75″ long x 7″ wide x 2.25″ tall (24.75 cm x 18 cm x 5.75 cm)
*Note that each and every kit’s cleaning cloth is different. We cut your cleaning cloth from vintage fabric that we hand-selected from a local (Boulder, CO) shop! Consider your cleaning cloth design a unique surprise.

Naturally this kit is the perfect starter kit, it comes from someone who teaches calligraphy and knows what she’s doing. It’s like having your favorite teacher gathering all the supplies you need for class. The care and attention that went into the packaging is obvious from the minute you open the box – you can tell everything was very thoughtfully and creatively packaged by someone who wants to share something very special with you (or with the person you give it to). Included is an instruction book with clear instructions, copious illustrations and a link to additional free materials. I purchased this kit for myself but it would make a marvelous and unique gift, too (but don’t give it to anyone I know because *I* plan to do that!). Very happy I found TPK!

A fantastic kit to start to the process of learning calligraphy. I recommend purchasing this with the beginner class, and in no time you will be starting the fun process of learning calligraphy! This kit has everything you need to dive right in. I love that when I went to start it was all in one place and it wasn’t overwhelming.

The TPK Modern Calligraphy Starter Kit is a lovely gift to myself! I studied calligraphy years ago and enjoyed it very much, but, like so many fun and creative things, it was pushed out of the way by children, cooking, cleaning, working outside the home, etc. etc. etc. It’s now my time to regain some of the skills I lost or never had time to pursue. 🙂 I appreciate the high quality of the materials included in the pretty designed-for-this-purpose box as well as the clear and thoughtful instructions in the enclosed booklet. I can’t wait to get started!!

Getting the Starter Kit in the post box really made my day! 🙂 It is really good stuff put together for a starter kit, that is going to last longer than my first steps in using a «pointy tipp» pen! 😉 And I really love the box!!!! 🙂 Thank you! 🙂

I love, love, love this kit. It has all the essential I need. I have been a customer of TPK for over a year. I own all the worksheets and I love how easy they are to follow. It allows me to add my little personal touch too.
My family loves receiving mail from me thanks to TPK. It was the best website I’ve ever clicked on. Thanks.
