Written By Hand

Written By Hand Calligrapher, Hand Lettering & Chalk Board Signage Artist. Also does commission calligraphy pieces. Memories of a time when communication was written by hand.

Hi, I’m Glenda Davis, a calligrapher and chalkboard lettering artist. I started my working life drawing and hand lettering engineering plans. My interest in lettering, and writing in general, led to a diploma in showcard and ticket writing, and I continued on to study graphic design. I guess I was destined to write on things in one form or another. I have years of experience in the business of wed

dings and celebration stationery, corporate and event work. My signature style is appreciated by those seeking a quality, hand written service. My calligraphy and lettering reflects my love of history; the beauty of hand written letters, addressed envelopes and hand written documents. I hope my work will illustrate to you my love of the written word in all its forms. Please check out my Instagram

Glad you visited.
