Calligraphy supplies in/around Menlo Park (San Francisco Bay Area)

[nicky]

Hi all,

My husband will be overseas for business soon (States) and I'm wondering whether there are any good calligraphy supplies/art supply shops in the Menlo Park/San Francisco Bay area?

We live in Melbourne and sometimes supplies are a little tricky to get hold off. If there is a good supplier in this area, I could ask him to stock up with all my favourite nibs etc!

Thanks all in advance,

Nicky

I won't say good, as calligraphy supplies is just part of the larger store.

Oakland = FLAX.  flaxart.com     1501 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland, CA 94612     But I do not know what the Oakland store stocks.
San Mateo = FLAX.  flaxart.com     3600 S El Camino Real, San Mateo, CA 94403
Redwood City = University Art.  www.universityart.com     2550 El Camino Real, Redwood City, CA 94061

Dip pen nibs are rather short of stock.
- FLAX in San Mateo has some Japanese nibs.
- University Art in Redwood City has the more traditional nibs.  But the last time I was there, many of the nib drawers were empty or low.

Thanks so much @garyn I'll give them a call and see what they have in stock.

Really appreciate your help!

I was at FLAX Oakland yesterday, and no Hunt 101  :-(
But they did have sealing wax, bought 4 sticks.
