An introduction

Guest names on lace place cards

There is something special about words written by hand.

The care behind each letter, the individuality of the lettering and the thought behind the message can turn something ordinary into something truly meaningful.

At Written Art, I bring together a love of ink on paper and the art of calligraphy to create thoughtful, handwritten pieces for all kinds of occasions.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, sending an invitation, celebrating someone special or looking for a bespoke piece to treasure, each commission is created with care, attention to detail and a personal touch.

Two styles

Two styles, one love of the handwritten word.

From the flowing elegance of traditional Copperplate to the individuality of modern calligraphy, different lettering styles bring their own character to every piece.

I work with both styles, allowing each commission to reflect the occasion, the message and the personal style behind it.

Whether you are drawn to timeless elegance or something more contemporary, the aim is always the same: to create something thoughtful, beautiful and uniquely yours.

About Written Art

A little about me

I’ve been practising calligraphy for over ten years, developing a lasting love for the beauty of ink on paper and the individuality of handwritten lettering.

What I love most is the personal touch that calligraphy brings. In a world where so much is printed and digital, taking the time to write something by hand makes it feel different.
