Scriptorium

At a time when script and writing are subject to frequent change, both in schools and at home, many are increasingly seeking and searching for the original. Since 1986, Ms. Fromme-Monsees has been teaching this "writing like in the old days."
In a cozy, relaxed atmosphere - in the smallest scriptorium in the world - the most beautiful scripts from 2000 years of writing culture and the use of various writing instruments, from the self-made quill pen to the modern fountain pen on papyrus, parchment and paper, are taught.
