Tools Used In Writing Calligraphy

Calligraphy is traditionally written with a reed pen. The reed is aged, treated and specially carved to hold ink.
Most calligraphy is written in black ink. When made from soot, dissolved gum arabic and distilled water, this ink does not easily fade.
Calligraphy can be written on many surfaces, including:
  • Paper
  • Parchment
  • Textiles
  • Metal
  • Ceramic
  • Wood
  • Stone
  • Glass
  • Ivory
  • Buildings
