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. I have increased my collection of many books to include Copperplate, brush and modern calligraphy study materials. My favorite style is Copperplate, which is written with 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.
I love to collaborate with my clients and provide beautiful hand calligraphy that will help make their special event one that everyone will remember. I can provide hand calligraphy for any celebration including save the dates, engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding, 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 north of Chicago in Libertyville, Illinois. 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!
