Keeping this site going (and trying to add to it) depends on calligraphy enthusiasts all over the world.

Thank you very, very much for being a WONDERFUL individual and contributing to upkeep.

Thanks to you, I will have more time (and coffee!) to get on with writing and photographing and publishing the next page!

"Calligraphy is a craft requiring singularly few tools – the writing instrument, the ink and the writing surface are the only essentials. The art of calligraphy depends on the scribe having an understanding of the proper use of all three, on his knowledge of letterforms and on his skill and freedom in their use."
