I use a straight nib holder because I am lazy... i.e. it's easier to dunk a straight holder into a bottle of ink, so I don't have to decant :-) I also feel less removed from the paper with a straight holder... I thought I was bonkers feeling this until I read that Rachel Yallop uses a straight holder for this reason.
I did originally use an oblique nib holder but it didn't really help me because even for my normal handwriting I have my paper at a funny angle... plus the nib holders I now use take all my broad edged nibs and my pointed nibs. I am practical if nothing else!

Workshops & Conference News / Re: Who is Signed Up for IAMPETH 2014

I wish we had something like IAMPETH in the UK. I have read blog posts from those who have been and it looks like such a huge fun event. There is a CLAS festival in August, but it seems to have more of a bias towards broad edged pen lettering... although Massimo Polello is running a workshop... again the emphasis is on working with flat brush work.
I do belong to the Copperplate Special Interest Group in the UK and we exchange envelopes... this has been great, but it definitely feels like copperplate is a niche interest in the UK!

Hello,
This forum looks fab!
I've been a blogger since 2008 and in 2011 I also began blogging about calligraphy - now at wonky-words.com
I love calligraphy and I'm looking forward to finding like minded friends on this forum... I am not used to forums... this is my first... hopefully I will get the hang of it!
Sx
