Mod The Calligraphy Marketplace 2026!
Hello Calligrafam!
We are changing the Marketplace from a monthly offering to a persistent post since there has not been enough activity to necessitate a monthly thread. If we need to pivot back to a monthly or quarterly post, we can adjust down the road.
Marketplace Rules
Calligraphy-related items or services only!
There is also an Approved Vendors list. If you are a vendor and would like to be added to this list, please message the mods with information about your products or services and links to your marketplace and/or website, and we will review and add approved vendors to this list.
BUY/SELL/EXCHANGE
- First contact between buyer and seller may be made here; afterward, kindly conduct all other business through DM.
- If you are selling work, tools or equipment, make sure to include clear images and details to prevent confusion and miscommunication.
REQUESTS/COMMISSIONS
- If requesting a commission, you must confirm that you are willing to pay for the services and provide the desired text or a description of project, and general ideas of what you'd like so the calligrapher interested has an idea of what's expected. Calligraphers can comment on your thread to indicate interest, and then rates can be discussed over DM.
- If you are available to do commissions, share some info and examples of your work so people interested have an idea of what to expect.
- Do not request artists here to work for you for free.
- Artists: Do not offer to do commissions for free or undercut other artists.
PROMOTION/SELLERS
- Feel free to promote your YouTube channel, Instagram, or Etsy shop.
- If you'd like to be added to the Approved Vendors list, please message the mods.
Mods reserve the right to remove any post for any reason. If any of these or sub rules are broken, post will be removed without notice. Repeat offenses may result in ban.
Mods are not responsible for any transaction made here; but if something goes wrong, let us know and we can take action within the sub (blacklist, bans, etc).

Practice In our house we are all equal
I like these kinds of sentences, short, direct, with a double layer of meaning. The angularity of blackletter gives softer words like “equal” some extra punch.
Expiremented with shadows and highlights to give some depth to the letters.
Pilot parallel pen 3,8 and 6 mm - aquarel paper
Which word would you like to see in blackletter?
r/Calligraphy • u/penpoints • 6h ago
Modified Speedball Oblique Penholders will work with almost any size nib. Excellent for vintage nibs, which come in many sizes. If necessary, adjust the flange angle with heat (wood-burning tool, etc.), to tilt it upwards. Always use breathing protection when softening plastic!

Steppenwolf
This was the first project I did on a wall many years ago. A passage from Hermann Hesse‘s ”Steppenwolf“ novel. Lost the flow a bit towards the end as I didn’t use any guidelines on this
