🇬🇧 Write like a medieval scribe — quill, reed pen, and all.

This kit is an invitation to slow down and discover one of history's most beautiful arts: medieval calligraphy. Everything you need to learn three key scripts of the Middle Ages, assembled by hand in Aveyron, France. Suitable for complete beginners, from age 7 to 107.

What's inside
— An A5 introductory booklet: brief history of writing and medieval scripts, ductus (letter models with stroke order), and progressive practice exercises
— A goose quill, hand-cut in the studio
— A reed pen (calame), hand-cut in the studio
— A bottle of ink
— Two bookmarks to calligraph — keep them or give them as gifts
— A video tutorial link to get you started
— Your first practice sheet, included as a gift
— A handwritten thank you card

The three scripts you'll explore
🔤 Uncial — the rounded, monumental script of early medieval manuscripts (4th–8th century)
🔤 Carolingian — the elegant, clear script standardized under Charlemagne (8th–12th century)
🔤 Gothic — the dramatic, angular script of the late Middle Ages (12th–15th century)

A note for left-handed users
Calligraphy with a quill or reed pen can be adapted for left-handed writers — the booklet includes guidance, and I'm always happy to share additional tips by message.

Available in French and English
The booklet is in French by default. An English version is available on request — just mention it at checkout or send me a message.

Perfect for
— Anyone curious about the history of writing and medieval art
— Fantasy, history, or Harry Potter fans
— A slow, mindful creative activity away from screens
— A truly original Christmas, birthday, or “just because” gift

Makes an exceptional gift for: history teachers, medievalists, calligraphy beginners, writers, illustrators, and anyone who has ever wondered how monks wrote those illuminated manuscripts.

Everything is as described, and the products are carefully packaged! Leïla was very accommodating in her handling of the order, and included a kind note and a little surprise that I'm keeping secret, things that don't spoil anything. :)

Good quality, nice package. There is a little word that shows a nice attention from the craftswoman. Only one regret: the feather was a little compressed in its packaging and once out, it is not really beautiful. That's why I put 4 stars. On the other hand, I try to do letters like exercise it is very difficult and what I do currently looks like nothing. I think it will take a lot of exercises before you master the techniques perfectly. In addition, I am left-handed which does not help anything. Maybe it would be interesting to have more information about the techniques etc now it is a starter kit also no improvement... I am in any case, happy with the purchase and I recommend it.
