The House of Calligraphy

Timeless keepsakes,
handwritten with heart.

Welcome to Our House

To a world that rushes by, we invite you to slow down.

To honour the moment. To write it down.

Here each handwritten piece is more than paper and ink - its a keepsake, crafted by hand to hold meaning for a lifetime.

"In an age of fleeting messages, we create heirlooms of emotion."

Our Craft

At The House of Calligraphy, we believe in beauty with purpose.

Every card, tag and keepsake are:

  • Hand-lettered in elegant copperplate calligraphy

  • Made with Europe’s finest artisan paper and watercolour paint

  • Finished with signature touches - velvet ribbon, vellum belly bands, and wax seals

Whether it’s a bespoke invitation, a place card for your table, or a name tag for a special gift, each piece is imbued with intention.

As a Wellington Calligrapher, I'm proud to offer handmade stationery that carries both beauty and meaning.

Your Story, Our Ink

From full wedding suites to thoughtful brand collaborations, we help you capture your story - one letter at a time.

Each project begins with you.
Your words, your vision, your moment.

  • Weddings & Events

  • Brand Gifting & Retail Collections

Every piece is designed to become part of your story - lasting, tangible, and deeply personal. As a Wellington Calligrapher, I’m honoured to bring your words to life.

Behind the Ink

Hi, I'm Liz

Wellington Calligrapher, curator, and founder of The House of Calligraphy.

What began as a love affair with pen and ink has grown into a business rooted in intentional design. I believe in heirlooms over trends, storytelling over mass production, and the joy of crafting with care.

Through bespoke wedding suites, retail collections, and thoughtful collaborations, I help you mark life’s meaningful moments in a way that feels personal, poetic, and profound.

I’d be honoured to create something lasting with you.
