Soul Calligraphy

Bespoke Handwritten Calligraphy, with Gold & Silver Leaf Gilding

Crafted in Auckland, New Zealand.

Welcome - I'm Carlene, a professional calligrapher based in Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland and Wellington.

I specialise in the art of hand-written calligraphy, enhanced with the timeless elegance of 24-carat gold and genuine silver leaf gilding.

With a passion for heirloom craftmanship, I create one-of-a-kind calligraphy pieces, using luxurious inks, classic nibs, and the finest papers.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed to celebrate life's most meaningful moments - from weddings and anniversaries to births and special milestones.

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

The addition of fine gold and silver leaf brings a radiant warmth or a cool shimmer to your words, adding romance to vintage styles and modern sophistication to contemporary script.

Whether you are looking to preserve heartfelt sentiments, mark a once-in-a-lifetime event, or gift a timeless keepsake, I'd be honoured to help you bring your vision to life.

My studio is based in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, I work with clients across
🌿 Aotearoa / New Zealand and Australia 🌿
