Good calligraphy set that makes a perfect Christmas gift
I'm a complete beginner at 'fancy writing' so I am trying to improve my style. The set looks really good and it is very helpful for someone like me to get started on the basics. The pens included are very usable and comfortable, I had no trouble with the ink flow when I was writing. It's a great little book that I will probably buy as a second one as a gift for my young niece.

Not for me...
Thought this book would have more information on how to start using real calligraphy pens and nibs, and wish it was all around organized better.The artist is very talented and does have a few good suggestions. Just wasn’t much guidance on how to start. I think this is more geared for someone who loves those kitchen signs that say “family” or like “time for wine”.I was looking more for a beginners books and how to learn classic calligraphy first, walk you through the nibs, pens and ink bottles; taught the best way to hold the pen, angle it, etc. Overall, not what I was looking for personally, but this book is definitely on trend for the people who love to hang those “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere”’ and that types or lettering.

Perfect kit for beginners
I’ve been eyeing this book for a long time. I am new to lettering and could not be more excited to find the kit. This book is amazing. I love that background information and she does a great job explaining all her tips and tricks. It’s very pleasing to the eye as well! Also a huge plus... all the different pens that come with it. So helpful!

Great Kit!!
Love this kit! For someone that is not the most artistically inclined and also doesn’t have great handwriting, this kit makes me feel so capable! I love the drill sections for each letter. The directions are easy to follow and so well articulated, that you really feel like you understand what you are supposed to do! The information is fun and you feel like you get to know a bit about Sarah and her creative journey! I took a tip from the book and have bought extra tracing paper so that I could practice more. Such an great idea! Overall, this kit has everything you need to learn to letter! I’m looking forward to getting the second book after some more practice with this one!

Great for beginners!
I love my kit!! I have NEVER had good handwriting and have always been jealous of anyone who had cute handwriting. Trying to do calligraphy would have been a joke before this kit. I’m still no where as good as Sarah who created this but I’m happy to see progress! This is inspiring me to get an iPad and get her digital courses.Absolutely worth it! If I can learn to write cute calligraphy ANYONE can!

Beautifully Made Lettering Gift Set
I got this set as a Christmas gift for a friend after purchasing the 101 guide for myself, and she absolutely loved it. It’s packaged so nicely and I think it’s a great addition that it includes some of the author’s favorite lettering utensils so you don’t have to worry about purchasing additional supplies/figuring out what to use. The book itself is beautifully made with thick paper and a ton of drills and lessons, and for some reason the little gold edges on the covers just make me so happy! I would definitely recommend purchasing this as a gift for the crafters in your life or just for yourself if you want to dive deeper into your lettering journey :)

Great Beginner Set!
I love that this set has everything you need to start your journey in calligraphy! The book is easy to follow along with, and the practice pages are great for beginners to get the hang of lettering. I like that as you get better with your lettering, the book adds in things you can do to amp up your designs. I also love that the book gives a preview of Hand Lettering 201 so you have an idea of what you can do with the second book to add to your skill set.

Damaged package
My package arrived damaged. I was really bummed.. especially paying $40 for this. Luckily the book itself wasn’t damaged.I like the variety of writing utensils! I wish in the book it specified which on to start with for the practice. I also think some more practice spaces in the actual book would have been nice. Instead I had to find trace paper to get more practice space in. Overall, I like the product!
