Calligraphy

Hi, I am interested in learning some basic calligraphy. Is there anyone who could help guide me in the initial steps to take and books and equipment that I should purchase ? Thanks in advance. Judy

Been playing with calligraphy the best thing I can tell you is you need to find the right nib for you. I was using ones that were to hard and did not flex. Unless you are doing copperplate or basic then stiff nibs are great! I have found I love the dip pens best of all of them but have had to order them online because the selection is very slim in the stores. Then PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! Have fun with it and everyone has there own unique style!
