Supplies & Practise Pages
Ready to get started with calligraphy - without wasting money on the wrong tools? I’ve tried them all so you don’t have to!
I’ve put together my go-to supplies list featuring the exact pens, paper and tools I actually use and recommend. No fluff. No fancy extras you don’t need. Just the tried-and-tested essentials that will make learning feel easier (and way more enjoyable).
Alongside that, you’ll find downloadable practice pages designed to help you build confidence quickly - from basic strokes to full alphabets. Print them at home and practise as many times as you like.

Shop Local
Small businesses, like me, rely on you to spend wisely. Here’s some of my favourite local purveyors of pens and art supplies for you to visit!
Draw Art Store
Independent retailer of fine stationery & graphic arts supplies from Japan, Europe & America
There’s a huge array of dellicious pens available in store - worth a visit when you’re in Glasgow’s West End!
Nikkis Supply Store
The curated supplies from designer Nikki Mcwilliams, a self confessed Bujo addict.
Millers Art Shop
Miller’s is now under the umbrella of Greyfriars Art Shop. The second oldest art shop (est. 1840) is now affiliated to the oldest art shop (est. 1834) in Scotland, to produce the biggest independent chain of art shops in Scotland.
So pop into Miller’s and see the same great Staff plus all the new stock which is arriving as fast as they can order it!
My Amazon Store
While I ALWAYS champion shopping local and have shared links to some excellent small businesses I appreciate that life can get in the way and sometimes you just want it all NOW! So if you’d rather grab everything in one place, I’ve linked all my favourite tools in my Amazon storefront, so you can shop the exact products I recommend without endless searching.
