We create hand lettered documents to recognize outstanding achievement, volunteer service, benefactors, retirement, distinguished service, and honorary degrees, as well as personal gifts of poetry, scripture and memorials.
Using the same materials and techniques that have been employed for centuries, we transform your words of tribute into a work of art that will be treasured and admired for many years.
For those interested in learning the craft of calligraphy and gold leaf illumination, we offer courses in our studio classroom. This year, we are especially excited about our course curriculum. We are pleased to announce the addition of three new teachers - illustrator and pop-up book designer Deborah Dyer; Bookbinder Elizabeth Rideout; and Margaret Choteborsky, former student of Herman Zapf.
We enthusiastically announce a new, one-semester, full-time course in calligraphy, manuscript illumination and bookbinding. This course is a collaboration betweeen Maryanne Grebenstein and the North Bennet Street School in Boston. For details, click Manuscript Course.
We also conduct manuscript study trips to museums and libraries in the United States and Europe. Our next trip is tentatively planned for autumn 2009 to Florence, Italy. Please click trips for details.
