Copperplate Sampler Review- PIA
« on: April 07, 2015, 07:54:18 PM »
Paper Ink Arts has posted a review on their blog of the copperplate sampler.  There are writing samples and reviews from several calligraphers.  If anyone has not checked it out, please do so.  I am just starting in on it and I find it hilarious.  Schin is so funny!  Lots of great information, though.

I agree, Schin's reviews on these are hilarious.

Also a good little article. I haven't tried all that many modern nibs and now I'm thinking I really should when I have some extra money to spend.

It is a very diverse set! I'd say 30% I love, 40% I hate and 30% I'm just like meh okay about. Pretty useful for beginners!
