Contrary to a commonly held belief, calligraphy is surprisingly inexpensive to commission. Prices start
at just 40p a word for the simplest writing styles
and for a few pence more one may order additional flourishes such as 'swash' capitals or other decorative extras. There are numerous options available in terms of calligraphy writing, complexity of style, gilding, colour, illumination or heraldic devices.
Whatever you have in mind you will certainly find it helpful to discuss your project with me. We will both gain a better understanding of what is involved and you should be able to obtain an idea of what the final cost is likely to be.
I enjoy talking to my customers because I believe that the process of ordering should never become
a barrier to your creativity or mine. My intention
is not that you should be satisfied with the work
that I carry out for you, but rather that you should be positively delighted with what we have achieved together.
In the Calligraphy Galleries on this site you will find
a selection of recent work which I hope will encourage and inspire you to commission
a beautifully written piece of calligraphy
for someone special.
