Why Choose Traditional Calligraphy by Hand?

In a world where most things are typed and templated, traditional calligraphy stands out — not just for its elegance, but for its authenticity. Every letter is drawn by hand using a pointed nib, ink, and time-honoured techniques, making each piece genuinely one of a kind.

Handmade calligraphy adds depth and character to any occasion — from luxury weddings to curated brand events. Unlike digital fonts, hand-lettered calligraphy carries rhythm, flow, and soul in every stroke. It’s a slow and thoughtful process that creates meaningful pieces meant to be kept, cherished, or gifted.

Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime celebration or a high-end activation, custom calligraphy tells your story with timeless style and tactile beauty. It’s not just writing — it’s craftsmanship.

Looking for something beautifully handwritten that feels just as meaningful as your special day? Let’s create a one-of-a-kind piece, made by hand just for you.

Custom Calligraphy Created in Northern Ireland, Delivered Worldwide

Looking for timeless, handcrafted calligraphy — no matter where you are in the world? I create every piece by hand in my studio in Northern Ireland, using traditional tools like pointed nibs and archival ink. From here, I carefully package and ship your calligraphy across the UK, Ireland, Europe, the US, and beyond. Whether it’s personalised wedding vows, keepsake poems, elegant envelopes, or bespoke event signage, your calligraphy will arrive beautifully made and ready to be part of your special moment. If you value craftsmanship and attention to detail, you’re in the right place — my calligraphy is more than just lettering. It’s made with soul, care, and intention.

“I commissioned Joha to write out a poem in calligraphy as a gift for a bride-to-be, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She worked to a tight deadline, delivered flawless, consistent lettering, and even helped with presentation by framing the piece beautifully. It was a heartfelt, one-of-a-kind keepsake — professionally crafted and truly special.”

Joha designed this beautiful traditional font gold leaf number and letter over the door . She arrived on schedule and spent the day painstakingly painting the numbers and applying the gold leaf by hand , it was like watching an artist at work and the end result far exceeded my expectations and give the front of the property a real lift making a super first impression. Thankyou joha 😊

Gilded House Number in Belfast

I came across Joha’s work on instagram just as we were looking to hire a traditional sign writer. The work involved was on an extremely high end residential property in Belgravia, it had to be perfect. At first I was a bit anxious to use someone I had never met or worked with before but Joha exceeded all expectations and completed the work within the agreed time frame and to the highest possible standard. We will not be looking anywhere else for traditional sign writers anymore.

Joha did a great job for us on the main signage for the front facade Jenny Watts pub in Bangor. She was professional and helpful throughout. Highly recommended.

Joha is an incredible painter, I ordered two personalised bottles from her and absolutely love them. She takes care to make all of her commissions special, even the small ones. Will definitely be ordering from Joha again for presents etc

I contacted Joha for our cofee shop's fascia, logo and signages. I was very surprised how professional and efficient she was. Once she received the design brief and concept she got to work straight away. As client, I felt my ideas were taken on board and she really listened and was able to translate my ideas into reality.
