Will's Quills shop closure June 2012 causes New Innovations
A new generation is evolving here, mainly due to the natural order of events. You may or may not be involved in the Arts, or more particularly in written calligraphy as a high art form? The fact is that in Australia, support for this beautiful art form is not easy to find. Suppliers are few and far between, and teachers who can pass down the needed techniques are not around in abundance. During the first half of 2012, a major Australian supplier Will's Quills, a shop in Chatswood, Sydney, closed its doors forever. While this is sad for calligraphy in general, it has meant that on a rebound, this site "Ornasonova" has come into being. Full support for all areas of the equipment needed is not possible at this time. But an effort is being made by this company, to help in the general direction. See the webpage devoted to Calligraphy, and see if our goods can help further your study/practise.
