V: Why is learning calligraphy useful?
A: Here are six important reasons to learn calligraphy skills, and also reasons why more handwriting is useful:

• Improving brain activity: Handwriting activates the brain, especially the areas responsible for language, perception and movement. By stimulating these neural circuits, handwriting can increase your cognitive function, creativity and problem-solving skills.
• Improving memory: Studies have shown that handwriting can improve memory and recall of this information learned through note-taking. By engaging your motor and cognitive processes, handwriting can help you 'encode' and store information more efficiently than typing or reading.
• Personalisation of other projects: Calligraphy skills and handwriting practice can add a personal touch to your projects, notes and written texts. By developing your own style, you can create unique and memorable creations in your work or other hobbies and produce projects that stand out.
• Motor skills: Learning calligraphy and practising handwriting can improve your fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination and manual dexterity. These skills are important not only for writing, but also for other tasks that require manual dexterity and precision, such as drawing, painting or playing an instrument.
• Meditation: Practicing calligraphy and handwriting can be a meditative activity that promotes relaxation, mindfulness and concentration. If you concentrate on the strokes, shapes and rhythms of the letters, you can enter a state that calms your mind and reduces stress.
• Artistic expression: Calligraphy and handwriting can also be a form of artistic expression that allows you to explore your creativity, style and personality. Whether you prefer traditional calligraphy styles or modern handwriting trends, you can find a way to express yourself through the beautifully written word.

Additional reason - Impact on children with ADHD and PTSD:

Learning calligraphy also has positive effects on children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Studies have shown that calligraphy improves attention, sensory-perceptual acuity, cognitive and intellectual abilities, emotional stability and self-control. Calligraphy practice can help children with ADHD to improve concentration and reduce hyperactivity. Calligraphy also has a therapeutic effect on children with PTSD, reducing symptoms of hyperactivity and improving overall emotional stability. You can read more about this in the following studies:

• Dovepress - Effect of calligraphy training on hyperarousal symptoms for childhood​ (Dove Med Press).
• Lupine Publishers - Calligraphy Treatment of Children with ADHD: A Case Study​ (Lupine Publishers).

How is this package different from the others?

1. Most calligraphy packs in hobby shops offer basic flat handles and a few pens, but the contents are often not clear, so it's not always obvious which pens are suitable for which fonts. My kit includes a good quality sloping handleto facilitate learning Copperplate or modern calligraphy and reduces wrist pain.
2. Calligraphy pens in other sets are often unsuitable for writing and are intended for decoration rather than use. In my set they are peresa, for beginners recommended world-famous calligraphers. Peresa are durable, easy to maintain and creating beautiful contrasting lines.
3. Many kits do not include sample sheets of known calligraphic scripts, or have samples of scripts for which the pens supplied are not suitable. My package solves this by relevant sample sheets.
4. The instructions in other packages are often short and vague, without details on the correct preparation and placement of the pen. My kit contains instructions and tips for correct posture, pen grip and paper position.
5. Other packages usually contain rare ink, which spills badly on the paper. My set includes quality Japanese ink Sumi.
6. Other packages have only short instructions in a very small format, without additional descriptions or dashes. My set contained in instructions, exercises, markers, which are printed on quality paper - 110 or 120 g.
7. Other sets have only directional arrows on the alphabet patterns, my pack also offers a detailed description for each basic move.
8. Other calligraphy packages on samples do not include a line drawing - showing the letter on the line to make it easier to see. My kit also includes an explanation line relationships, calculation procedure and additional Erasers. Letters are represented in three ways: on a white background, on a highlighter and also showing numbered direction arrows.
9. Other calligraphy packages They have only the display of the letters, without showing how to form the letters into a word. My pack also contains a teaching sheet that gives instructions on how to make the letters into words.
10. Other packages often lack explanations of calligraphic terms. My kit includes glossary of calligraphic terms.
11. Other calligraphy packs are not personalised. This set is personalised with your name or name of the donor.
12. For this package, you can additionally tick gift wrapping.
