Also,when you grind up ink for calligraphy you also add alittle pounded gum arabic to thicken the ink so it flows better.
If you want any I would recommend: L Cornelissen & Son Ltd 1a, Hercules St London N7 6AT Tel: 020 7281 8870 They are an artist's colourman - ie they grind and sell pigment. You can also get quills, paints, guilding equipment and all metal leafs and metal dusts. It is the same as it must have been when they were founded with all the mahogany draws and interesting things.
