About Marcia
I always had a huge love for paper, pens and ink. When my children were young, I studied calligraphy from a local artist and immersed myself in the study and practice of hand lettering. I first learned Italic calligraphy using broad edge pens and a (now well used) workbook titled "Italic Calligraphy" by Abraham Lincoln, which I still refer to now and again. Now my favorite style is Copperplate and written with a pointed pen. In the tradition of master penmen, I use dip pens and many different types of inks to create all of your unique event pieces.
My goal is to collaborate with my clients and provide beautiful hand calligraphy that will help make their special event one that everyone will remember. Your guests will love to see the gift of their names written in calligraphy! I can provide hand calligraphy for your save the dates, engagement party, wedding, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, birthday, corporate event or any other occasion. In addition, I will be happy to answer any of your etiquette questions relating to addressing your event pieces, which should save you time in the long run.
My home studio is in Libertyville, Illinois, a north suburb of Chicago. I have worked for clients throughout the Chicago region and nationwide since 1990. Proud member of: The Chicago Calligraphy Collective, and, The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH).
When I'm not practicing, addressing envelopes or mixing ink, I might be playing with my grandchildren, drinking strong coffee or reading (actual) books. Contact me for pricing information or any other question, and I'll help you get the process started!
