Today, I’ll shed some light on a common first-time calligrapher question: “How do I put my pen nib in the holder?”
In this post, I’ll focus primarily on pointed pen nibs and holders, but this information is also applicable for broad-edged nibs.Straight and oblique pen holders
There are two main types of pen holders available to calligraphers:- A straight pen holder, which is exactly as it sounds!
- An oblique or offset pen holder, which holds the pen nib at an angle away from the shaft of the pen.
Laura...where did you get that beautiful oblique pen holder. Many thanks.....Madeline
