Calligraphy Supplies Around the World

Sometimes people from outside the U.S. would like to know how they can get calligraphy supplies in their own country. So I thought I would do a search to find calligraphy sites around the world. The following is only a small sample of sites available. Only a few are stores. If you find yourself belonging to one of these language groups and are looking for a store in your country, contact the people at the site and see if they can direct you to where they pick up their supplies. If you are outside the U.S. and know of a store near you stocking calligraphy supplies, please give the store’s location (city, country) and contact information, such as an email. (This is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of all calligraphy sites in these areas. This is only a sampling.)
