FAQs

WHAT IS CALLIGRAPHY?

Shortly, it is beautiful handwriting, hand-lettering. I specialize in Copperplate (elegant, cursive, flourishes and curls, different pressures…) and modern hand lettering.

WHAT IS THE PRICING?

Please send us an inquiry. Minimum order is 500 DKK, studio work starts at 500 DKK/hour, on-site work starts at 900 DKK/hour.

Price depends on the event, guest number, ink type you prefer, if you have your own cards, date... I will guide you.

HOW LONG IN ADVANCE DO I BOOK?

The sooner the better! Weddings ideally 6-12 months in advance, corporate events 1-2 months in advance. Seasons can be quite busy (weddings, Christmas, Mother's Day…) and we accept limited number of clients to ensure high level of service and quality. Get in touch and we will find a way.

DO YOU PROVIDE THE STATIONERY?

We provide some classical ones such as thick white name cards, white envelopes. Usually, embassies, companies and other corporates prefer own stationery (with logo etc). If time allows, we can order your preferred stationery (excluded in the price).

CAN YOU SIGN THE NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT?

Yes, certainly. Working with sensitive data of banks or embassies, it is a common practice.

WHAT LANGUAGES CAN YOU WORK IN?

We have a native Japanese and a native Chinese calligrapher on the team to offer calligraphy in studio or as brand activation - please get in touch.

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY GUEST LIST etc?

You may submit your addresses in Word or Excel file. All data must be proofread and spelled out exactly as will appear.

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?

I have studied art in art school and with several known artists and calligraphers in the Czech Republic. My art was exhibited at the Prague castle, theatre, political institutes around Europe, sold to various customers. I have also been a guest lecturer at Sweden's largest art university KONSTFACK in cooperation with Tjeckiska centret.

WHAT TECHNIQUE DO YOU USE?

My favorite technique is a pointed ink dip pen and either black or golden ink. It is unusual for many, so people love watching the process.

DO YOU ALSO PRINT OR DO GRAPHIC DESIGN?

I do not print. However, I cooperate with several printers and letterpress colleagues, and we accept graphic design requests for digital calligraphy or logo design based on our availability.

DO YOU ONLY WRITE ON PAPER?

We have experience with gifts for VIP customers, wedding favors and name cards from different materials - wood, stone, glass, leaves, t-shirts, mugs, agate slices, candles, wine labels, champagne bottles, perfume bottle engraving, leather bracelet engraving…

It is an amazing way how to get your marketing creative and be ahead of your competition. Let’s find a way together!

CAN YOU DO ENGRAVING / PYROGRAPHY?

Yes, we can. We have engraved wine bottles, champagne bottles, perfume bottles (flacons), used pyrography on leather luggage tags, leather bracelets, personalising luxury shoes, purses. Great way for brands to stand out.

I LIKE THE WAX SEAL ON THE ENVELOPE CLOSING. CAN YOU DO IT FOR ME?

Yes, we can. We have many motives you can choose from. Customers and guests love it (my favorite reaction was “I felt like a Pope while opening it!”). We can also make a personalised one with your initials, date, logo, etc. The customized ones take approximately 3 weeks and start at 700 DKK ex VAT.

Everybody will remember you.
