Soul Calligraphy

A hand-written, bespoke, calligraphy service
~ specialising in 24-carat gold & silver gilding ~
Auckland, New Zealand.

Welcome! I'm Carlene ~ a calligrapher with a passion for creating hand-crafted calligraphy with meaning,
using sumptuous inks, with classic nibs, on gorgeous papers.

I love to unite dip-pen calligraphy with the luxurious elegance of
genuine 24-carat gold, and the classy coolness of pure silver leaf.
They add a touch of romance to classically vintage writing styles,
and a touch of glamour to the more modern writing.

'It's the words you read but the calligraphy you feel' *

Meaningful words, when beautifully written, enhance your memories of
weddings, birth commemoration, an end-of-life celebration,
or anniversaries, and achievements of all sizes and shapes.
I will help you immortalise, and share, your feelings and experiences
in a very special way.

You will find my work in store at 'Betty Loves Books', Newcastle, AU^
and at 'Elysium', Wellington, NZ°.

My calligraphy studio is based in Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland 🌿

So, curious ones... chat to me about your special events, moments, or words,
I'll show you how a calligrapher can capture them beautifully, and for eternity, on paper.

Thank you!

Auckland Calligrapher. Member of the Australian Society of Calligraphers, CLAS Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society UK, and IAMPETH International Assn of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting, and student of The Society of Scribes and Illuminators UK.
