Hi guys, I have a friend that would like to get into calligraphy, and they don't have much equipment. I'd like to get a gift set of some sort, including pens and ink, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. I followed one of the wiki links here to a store and saw the set below, but a very similar set didn't have that good/many reviews on Amazon.
I know calligraphy is somewhat of a niche hobby, so I'm not sure anything I can find on the mainstream sites like Amazon would be good anyway. And I'm a little surprised that the set is relatively inexpensive. I always saw calligraphy as a very classy, elegant, artsy hobby, so I thought the products would be expensive, especially if you want to get the really good things. My friend has discerning tastes, so I definitely don't want to get a cheap set that is geared towards a mass-market crowd.
Could any of you recommend a good, quality set for me that you guys like as serious calligraphers? I don't really have a set budget in mind (I'd be willing to spend $100-200 easily, and more for better things), as I'm not even sure how much they're supposed to cost.
