New to Design CalligraphyWednesday 11 June 2008
A range of greeting cards for every occasion are now available for purchase - see Original Works and Prints. These cards offer a unique alternative to mass produced cards that often don't convey the sentiment you desire. Each design is hand lettered and painted with a calligraphic look and feel, and then printed on the highest quality smooth and textured luxurious cards. With complimentary envelopes these cards will delight both the gift giver and recipient. They have been left blank inside for you to include your special message and thoughts.

BookbindingTuesday 3 April 2007
There are bookbinders who share the premises of the Australian Calligraphy Society at Cremorne (Primrose Park). This is where Terri learned her bookbinding, and you can contact them at bookbinding@primrose-park.com.au. They are listed on www.asoc.org.au.
There are many restorations that can be applied to your book. It can be easier to replace a worn cover instead of repairing it; but fiddly repairs, lettering and printing are all possible if your book has special value and the original covers need to be kept.
