The Calligraphy Galleries on this site
display a comprehensive selection
of recent work which I have every hope will
encourage and inspire you to commission
a beautifully written piece of calligraphy
for yourself or maybe that special
someone in your life?
Whatever you have in mind you will
certainly find it helpful to discuss your
project with me. Giving me the opportunity
to explain how it is possible to turn a few
simple words into something that will
become a treasured keepsake
And, of course, you should be able
to obtain a very good idea of what
the final cost is likely to be
Contrary to a commonly held belief,
genuine handwritten calligraphy
is surprisingly inexpensive to commission
Prices start at just 40p a word for the
simplest writing styles -
often be embellished, quite inexpensively,
with additions such as 'swash' capitals
or simple flourishes added to the
‘ascenders’ or ‘descenders’
Excitingly, there are countless options
available in terms of the writing,
complexity of style, gilding, colour,
illumination or heraldic devices.
Add lasting value to your Awards, Certificates, Commemorative Scrolls,
Wedding Invitations, Seating Plans, Place Cards, Albums, Menus, Poetry and Books
Through the ancient and beautiful craft of the calligrapher and heraldic artist.


Order out of chaos.

of popular whimsy
