We use to stock Character paper, which was perfect for Copperplate and Spencerian. However, the paper mill that produced this paper is no longer around.
We have now replaced the Character paper with Conqueror High White Wove Paper. This is a luxurious, superior quality 100gsm paper with a discrete watermark.
The smooth surface of this paper makes it ideal for Copperplate and Spencerian styles of writing and Ornamental penmanship.
Thank you for your custom and support during the year.
Wishing you a Joyful Christmas and a bright and Happy New Year.

You may have noticed the structure of our website has recently changed. We felt there was sometimes too much scrolling down the sections. There use to 19 sections at the top of the shopping pages. We have now reduced these to 11 sections. They still exist but have been re-located under more relevant headings.
So, now if you want Calligraphy materials and equipment you will find them under the heading of Calligraphy Supplies. If you are looking for Illustrators materials you will find them in the Illustrator Supplies section. Some items, in particular nibs can be found in more than one section if they are suitable for calligraphers and illustrators. Other products like pencils, rulers etc. are used by different artists and so are in more general sections like Drawing Equipment.
Over time we have posted lots of articles on our blog about different aspects of calligraphy. The Calligraphy School is a new section which pulls together some of these posts on calligraphy. So for example, all the posts on learning Roman Capitals can be now be easily found in one place.
This year, the CLAS Regional Day is being hosted by the Oxford Scribes and they have invited us along.
