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 unite traditional dip-pen calligraphy with the warmth of genuine 24-carat gold,
and the coolness of pure silver leaf,
adding a touch of romance to vintage writing,
and a touch of glamour to modern script.

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

Meaningful words, when beautifully written, create heirloom pieces for
weddings, birth commemoration, an end-of-life celebration, and anniversaries.
I will help you immortalise, and share, your heartfelt sentiment
in a very special way.

You can also 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 words, and
I'll show you how calligraphy can beautifully capture their essence for eternity.

Thank you!
