When I first started out, I found it really hard to find the supplies needed for the craft. I live in the south, and local arts and crafts shops are hard to find, or too far, not to mention the local book stores rarely have the supplies. So, I’m making this list as a reference.
Aside from Deovir Art Supplies, National Bookstore, and Fully Booked (Note that Greenbelt 5 branch has most of the materials), there’s a store especially for Calligraphy supplies called Scribe Writing Essentials. Although their stores are located mostly in Manila.
So here’s the list for all the shops I found (The ones with the check mark are the ones I’ve ordered from, and are pretty friendly):

Hello I hope you can help me. Upon your recommendation I placed an order through the online store Artillery Philippines. I got an email from them with instructions for the payment. I made the payment through bank deposit. 1 week na wala paring reply or confirmation as to when I will get my order. Have you ordered through them before? Does it usually take them more than 1 week to even reply?

Hello! This is an old post, as I’ve moved to Weebly. But to answer your question, I haven’t tried buying from them. Have you tried calling them?
