We should be hearing about an upcoming Atlantian Scriptorium soon.
Since you agree that it's important, Liam, I'll address it at Cyddlain 
Downs'
next meeting......<evil grin>  I've got the tools, I've got some of the 
talent,
the only thing I don't have is enough time to devote to it....

Falcon Cree holds a regular calligraphy night on the second Friday of
every month.  If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll get you in touch
with them.  It's part of the Nottinghill Coill Scriptorium, and we'll be 
glad
to have more help!

In service,
