Our friends at Jet Pen recently started carrying calligraphy nibs by Brause, another member of the Exaclair family. I’ve long admired the calligraphy that I see through blogging friends, so I used it as an excuse to pick up some books at Barnes & Noble (Margaret Shepherd’s Calligraphy Made Easy and Don Marsh’s First Steps guide) and give it a go for myself.
I’ve got some nibs and paper with me here in Westport, so hopefully I’ll find it as easy as Clem says it is!
Do you practice calligraphy?

It’s one of those things where you get better at it the more you practice and it is a lot of practice
I think it is rewarding once you get the hang of it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadlysinner/4110968951/in/set-72157622056384219/

Hey Leah, thank you for mentioning me!
Gentian is right. 
You’ll learn your own tricks through your own faults. I learned that way. But really, it is relatively easy. Do let us know how your calligraphy session turns out.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I haven’t gotten very far yet, but I will definitely post again as my skills evolve…
