calligraphy

Hand lettering, by its uniqueness, sets each piece apart from the ordinary. You choose your lettering style and color. The rich vitality of hand lettering, overcomes the sameness of computer fonts and provides a pleasing tapestry of pen strokes pleasing to the eye.

Unlike a brass plaque or ornate piece of crystal, calligraphy offers the opportunity to express your inner feelings with your own words and the selection of an artistic style.

The opportunity to employ colorful decoration and illustration enables you to purchase a treasured heirloom for yourself, family, friend or business associate.

You may add scintillating 23K gold and platinum leaf to enrich each piece. Use it in the title or to highlight the name of a recipient. No other method of recognition can do this.

A visit to our large studio/gallery, with both traditional and contemporary calligraphy on display, will inspire you as we discuss your project and the result you wish to achieve.

Our gallery has the largest selection of decorated calligraphy in the Northwest. Give us a call to arrange a visit. (503 636 0044)

You can select archival paper, hand- made paper or choose from a selection of colored papers. To add an aura of the old world, you might even want to have your heirloom quality piece rendered on genuine calfskin.

Our studio can provide a one of a kind, breathtaking, traditional or contemporary Wedding Invitation for reproduction. After the Invitation is printed, we can complete the decoration and have the Invitation framed as an heirloom.

Many couples also like to have us letter their invitation envelopes, Wedding Vows and place cards giving continuity to the artistic atmosphere you wish to create.

The convenience of our on-site frame shop eliminates the need to shop around for framing and is responsive to the timing of your event.

Whatever the occasion, you will find that fine, by-hand calligraphy will make your event more colorful and more meaningful.
