Mike Harty from The Oriental Calligraphy Society will talk to us:
"all you ever wanted to know about seals"

It would be a great idea to bring your seals AND SEAL MUD along to the talk. The reason that the mud is important is because there are so many different qualities and consistencies, and you need to know which you are using because they can have differing results.
