This year the CLAS Festival of Calligraphy was held at Warwickshire College in Leamington Spa.

The CLAS Festival of Calligraphy gives everyone a chance to indulge in calligraphy and lettering. World class tutors teach a variety of courses in lettering. This year’s tutors were Mary Noble, Manny Ling, Ian Garrett, Lin Kerr, Clare Whittaker and Vivien Lunniss

The workshops take place during two 2 1/2 day sessions with Monday afternoon free.

We were delighted to be asked to attend Monday afternoon. As usual it is very hard to decide what Calligraphy equipment and materials to take to an event. We can’t take it all, and you guessed it we were asked for one type of nib, which we had left behind. Another dilemma we have is what quantities of stock to take. Thankfully we got this about right. We only sold out of three items and one of these we had limited stocks because the supplier is also out of stock.

It was great meeting lots of keen calligraphers in a relaxed environment. You could tell the calligraphers were really enjoying the Festival, because every single one of them who wrote us a cheque for payment could not remember what the date was!

We have been working on the design of the store pages.
A few weeks ago we updated the look of the homepage to show images and brief descriptions of the main shopping sections of the website. We also added a right-hand column, which showed links to this blog, Twitter and Facebook plus a form to sign-up to our mailing list.
This new look has been applied to all the store pages. So the sections have become a bit more visual and the social network links are present on most pages. There is still a bit of tidying up to do and a few more images are needed to complete the job.
