• Ink (sometimes included with your writing tool) - Personally I like cartridge pens, but if using a dip pen, I use https://a.co/d/8XScFid)

• Paper - Smooth, high quality paper (I use parchment like this https://a.co/d/hiOwsEe , but you can test your pen on all the paper types you have and see which bleeds and which give you the look you want.

• Pencil/pen for the beginning of the course and comfortable practice

• Patience and a relaxed space to practice without distractions

How to clean your nib (if that is what you’re using) -

• Basic cleaning: Use warm water and a small amount of dish soap. 

• Scrubbing: If needed, use an old toothbrush to gently clean the nib. 

• Soaking for stubborn ink: For heavily inked nibs, soak in soapy water for a short time before rinsing. 

• Drying: Always dry the nib completely after cleaning to prevent rust.
