Renovations, Rebranding, & Evolutions

This Fall 2026, CMS is taking a major shift. 

It had adjusted the name to Atelier Crescent Moon (but will always have the love of CMS for Crescent Moon School). Part of the reasoning is search engine issues with a technical program also called CMS. We love the new name as it helps with the French language concerns somewhat, which is necessary for where we are homebased in Quebec, Canada.

We will not take students this Fall as we also will re-evaluate the classes and teaching structures. Nothing will change for current students already working their way through the program. New students in the New sessions of 2027 will start in the new program. More details to come on this later.

We are also adjusting our focus to now include the crafty and creative side of teachers and students. Art, inks, magical tools, and more will start to show up. Honestly, if you have followed the Facebook Page or found us at events like Scriven or Montreal ComicCon over the last few years, then you already know this. Again, more to come.

TEASER:

*First... go watch the anime Witch Hat Atelier! It has inspired so much and re-ignited the love of magical writing*

We now have an exclusive ink called Atelier Medium. Eventually, Atelier Dark and Atelier Light will join the collection. This is the blue line of inks on our color theme.

If you are at the Greenwood Harvest Festival (on Meri's land on Saturday, September 19th), then this ink will be available for sale there. Otherwise, you can find it at Montreal's Anime Fest (September 26th).

Montreal ComicCon

Blue Moons and Magical Writing

 Saturday, May 30th, 2026 will be a Full BLUE Moon. In the Celtic Calendar, this would end up as the Holly Moon. For everyone else, it is the SECOND Full moon in a calendrical month, making it a BLUE Moon.

 

No, the moon will not appear blue. Sadly. But it is an uncommon occurrence (once in a blue moon).

This is a magical and powerful time of external change and goal setting. CMS will be at an few events this year showcasing its magical wares and focusing more on magical writing and magical writing tools.
