FAQ

How can live calligraphy enhance my event?

Live calligraphy transforms your event into an interactive, personalised experience, leaving a lasting impression on your guests and customers. This leads to more sales, increased foot traffic, and stronger brand loyalty.

Do you offer in-studio personalisation services?

Yes! If you prefer in-studio personalisation instead of on-site engraving or calligraphy, we can accommodate your needs. Learn more about this option [here].

What types of events are suitable for live calligraphy?

Our live calligraphy services are ideal for corporate events, brand activations, product launches, tradeshows, and more. We provide artistic flair that elevates any event where bespoke calligraphy and personalisation can shine.

Can you explain the process of live calligraphy during an event?

During live calligraphy at events, we set up a personalised station with all the necessary materials. Our expert calligrapher for hire engages directly with attendees, creating custom calligraphy pieces in real-time. This interactive experience not only adds elegance but also ensures your guests walk away with unique, bespoke calligraphy mementos that enhance the overall event experience.

How much time is needed for each personalised calligraphy piece?

Each personalised calligraphy piece can take anywhere from a few minutes to 10-15 minutes, depending on factors like the design complexity, the medium used (such as paper, glass, or leather), and the pace of the event. Our live calligraphy artists are skilled in maintaining efficiency while delivering high-quality handwritten place cards, engraved glassware, and more, all while communicating with guests about wait times to ensure a smooth experience.

Can I choose the style or design for the calligraphy?

Absolutely! You can choose a specific calligraphy style that matches your event's theme or your brand's aesthetic. Our professional calligraphers for hire are adept in a variety of styles and can adapt their work to meet your preferences. Whether it's luxury calligraphy for a wedding or corporate event calligraphy, we strive to make every piece cohesive with your event's look and feel.

Can you personalise products or items that I provide?

Yes! We offer custom calligraphy services that can be applied to items you bring, including notebooks, cards, envelopes, bottles, or other surfaces. Our team can personalise your products using live calligraphy, engraving, or hand-lettering techniques, ensuring each item reflects your brand or personal touch. We also offer on-site engraving services for materials like glass, metal, and ceramics.

Keep in mind that certain surfaces or materials may be more suitable for calligraphy than others, so it's a good idea to consult with the calligrapher about the items you wish to personalise to ensure they are compatible with the calligraphy process.

How do you ensure the calligraphy stays in place and doesn't smudge?

To ensure lasting quality, we use high-grade materials, quick-drying inks, and take careful measures like applying protective sprays. This ensures the personalised items, whether created via calligraphy engraving or hand-lettering, remain smudge-free. We also consider the type of product and give honest feedback on the durability of the calligraphy to ensure the piece stands the test of time.

What types of surfaces or materials can you work with for live calligraphy?

We provide live calligraphy and hand-lettering on a variety of surfaces, including cardstock, fabric, and wood. Our engraving services cover materials like glass, ceramics, and metal, while we also offer hand-foiled embossing on leather goods and fabrics. Whether it’s a corporate gift, bespoke calligraphy for a special occasion, or luxury calligraphy on high-end materials, we ensure the best results by using appropriate tools and inks for each surface.

Can you customise calligraphy to match our brand or event theme?

Yes, we specialise in tailoring custom calligraphy services to match your brand’s identity or event theme. Whether it’s the colour scheme, font style, or overall design elements, we ensure that the calligraphy aligns perfectly with your event’s mood and purpose, enhancing the overall experience for your guests and customers.

How far in advance do I need to book your services for my event?

We recommend booking our calligrapher for hire services as early as possible, especially for high-profile corporate events or intricate bespoke calligraphy projects. Early booking ensures we have ample time to tailor our services to your needs, especially if you're looking for on-site calligraphy or calligraphy for corporate events.
