Hello from Holland
« on: September 10, 2018, 02:04:20 PM »
Hello to all of you calligraphy lovers,

My name is Claudia and in October I'll turn 53.

I started practicing Copperplate calligraphy only a few months ago. Before that I did hand- and brushlettering.
I practice with a couple of different nibs like Hunt 101, Kachikawa G and Zebra G.
For ink I use the Kuretake Sumi ink and the walnut ink.

If you'd like to, you can find me on Instagram as https://www.instagram.com/made_by_me_claudia

Hope to learn more and getting beter at this beautiful craft. :D

Thank you

Welcome to the forums, Claudia. Ah, beautiful Holland! I still buy a lot of my fountainpen supplies from Joost at Appelboom Pens.

Hello Claudia, @Claudiabp
I have a pair of wooden clogs given to me by students of my father’s when they travelled to the US from Holland. They even have my name carved into them.  ;D
