Our Story
In 1997, Jill Hembling & Kirsten Burke set up their business- built on their love of modern calligraphy.
Fast forward 20 years, and they’ve sold more than 10 million greeting cards, created large-scale public artworks, written five books and run 1000’s of calligraphy events for leading brands including Jo Malone, BMW and Molton Brown with their team of more than 40 calligraphers (and counting) from all over the country.
"I hope we’ve helped inspire others to pick up a pen or a brush and to fall in love with calligraphy. In a fast pace world, this ancient skill, reinvented for today’s generation, has never been more popular and I feel proud and lucky to be part of this exciting and thriving industry." Kirsten Burke
