Minimum Supplies

This section includes the minimum supplies that you will need for this seminar.

Pen

You can use any broad nib pen for this workshop, but these are a few of my favorites that I recommend:

Ink

Each Pilot Parallel pen comes with two ink cartridges, one black and one red, therefore you will not need any additional ink.

Paper

The paper mentioned below is only a recommendation. You can, of course, use any paper that you prefer. Using a higher quality paper than standard printer paper is preferable because it will minimize or prevent ink bleed, making your work look better and your practice sessions more enjoyable.
