For the Calligrapher Who Has Everything- A Holiday Gift Guide Crafted by John Neal Books

Shopping for the calligrapher who has everything can be a daunting task! We have crafted a guide to help you make this gift-giving season a bit easier. Whether your calligrapher wants to try something new, loves beautiful things, or has some splurges on their wish-list that they won’t buy for themselves, this guide has it all!

A look into the guide:

1. Daylight DuoLamp Table Top Light

Double your light and eliminate shadows with the DuoLamp Table. Whether you’re sewing, crafting, drawing, or painting nails, enjoy a fantastic quality of light and accurate color matching with DuoLamp’s 56 high-quality LEDs.

2. Kuretake Drop of Shimmer Ink

Add Kuretake’s “Drop of Shimmer” to your favorite inks and watch them sparkle! These ink additives allow you to turn a typically matte ink into a shimmery one. Choose from gold, silver, or glitter.

3. Ash Calligraphy Galaxy Penholder

These gorgeous oblique holders are designed with meticulous craftsmanship, adorned with a dazzling array of glitter and iridescent hues, and constructed with a resilient resin that ensures long-lasting use. The Galaxy series’ ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip that fits snugly in hand, allowing for extended writing sessions without fatigue.

4. Tom's Studio "One Dip Wonder"

Tom's Studio "One Dip Wonder" turns any pointed nib into a nib with an ink reservoir! Unlike broad edge nibs, pointed pens don't include a built-in reservoir, making calligraphers have to dip and re-dip constantly. Having to dip your pen in ink halfway through writing can ruin your flow, causing an inky mess.

5. Cavallini & Co Apron, Herbarium

These beautiful aprons feature an adjustable strap with a wooden button and a convenient front double pocket to hold your tools, recipes, and utensils. Made of 100% natural cotton and packaged in a muslin drawstring bag.

This gorgeous art print by Sheila Waters features the entire alphabet decorated with a variety of motifs, including suns, seahorses, foliage, fish, and various geometric and abstract patterns. Green and black. Approximately 10.5” x 6” in size. Signed and titled by Sheila Waters.

7. Holbein + Yuko Higuchi Collaboration, Porcelain 108-Well Watercolor Palette

Tokyo-based artist and illustrator Yuko Higuchi creates a whimsical world featuring anthropomorphized characters and surreal elements. Her collaboration with Holbein features lovely and intricately designed watercolors, packaging, and specialty limited-edition art materials. This circular porcelain palette features 108 wells that surround a flat interior for mixing colors.

8. Yasutomo Suzuri Stone Sumi Set
