Calligraphy Services
I am passionate about calligraphy. For as long as I can remember I have prided myself on beautiful handwriting and obsessed over typography and lettering. Calligraphy is an historic art and a form of self-expression that can never be replaced by technology; it is a beautiful and tangible way of staying connected. I love nothing more than when I have my pen and nib in hand and get lost in my creative practice. I hope to share my love for this practice with as many people as I can and to keep the art of the hand written letter alive.
I am available for a range of calligraphy commissions and would love nothing more than to help bring your ideas to life. Please see details relating to my calligraphy services below.
​
Envelopes
​
Who doesn't like to receive beautifully addressed post? I create hand addressed envelopes using high quality materials in a variety of colours. I have three core styles of calligraphy that I use when addressing envelopes: Graceful (a traditional Copperplate style); Flourished (a decorative take on the traditional style with swirls and flourishes); and, Spirited (a modern, looser style). Please do get in touch and let me know what you have in mind and I would be more than happy to help. Further details on colours can be seen on my Etsy store here.
Example envelope and calligraphy styles I offer can been seen below.
Placename Cards
Placename cards add a personal touch to any table setting and are a wonderful keepsake for guests. I offer a range of ink colours and will work with you to choose the best card for your special day/event. I offer traditional copperplate, flourished copperplate, and modern calligraphy styles to suit your personal taste and wider table setting design.
Examples of some recent commissions can be seen below:
Bespoke services
​
I offer bespoke services and will be happy to discuss your calligraphy ideas with you. I have worked with clients to prepare save the dates, wedding invitations, baby shower cards and unique calligraphy prints. In addition, my experience in using the latest design software means I can work with you to digitally prepare designs ready for print.

Prices & Turnaround
Every commission is unique and therefore priced individually. To give you a guideline, envelopes typically start at £3.50 per envelope, place-name cards at £1 per card and hand written letters/quotes start at £50.
Turnaround time will depend on the time of year and my schedule but I would suggest allowing at least 6-8 weeks for simple designs. For a more precise quote and idea of timescales, please do get in touch. I would love to help create the perfect calligraphy piece for you.
