Welcome Sandee!

I agree Instagram calligraphers are so inspiring! It's what brought me to this forum as well.
See you around!

Wonderpens are bringing back calligraphy workshops and with that, they're planning on carrying nibs (rumour has it, some Brause Rose) but not for another month or so.

I have yet to come across a well-stocked nib store in Toronto. I've mostly been ordering my things. I came across this site a few weeks ago when I was looking for Walnut Ink: http://www.europeanpapers.com/
Shipping was quite reasonable for 3 bottles.

Introductions / Greetings from Toronto!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Dyan and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I'm a corporate graphic designer who's looking to reconnect with my love of hand-lettering and calligraphy. I've dabbled in gothic and copperplate as a teenager. Now in my later-20s, I'm hoping to rid myself of "bad calligraphy habits" by starting from scratch. Few little things about me: I have an intense love for pens, paper, & books and I have a stockpile of the most random facts.
I've been a great fan of some of you on instagram and I'm really excited to get started on this journey!
