Saturday 7th May we were at our fourth Society of Scribes and Illuminators Lay Members Day.Despite the recession, this was another packed out Lay Members Day. It’s not often you see hundreds of calligraphers under the one roof!We were very busy again. Our new ranges of inks (FW Acrylic Inks and Dr Martins Bombay Inks) were popular. Members were also happy to see Sharpening Stones back in stock after many years absent.We eventually got back from London late at night. What a great day and hope to return next year!
