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.

Stunning tablescape for the Hampton event
and classic black ink on white place cards to finish off the look. Guest names should always be handwritten don’t you think?

What a beautiful launch last night celebrating the stunning designs that are truly artworks from Oscar De La Renta. And the exquisite paper blooms that perfectly complimented the designs. Such a lovely night and catching up with some of the best in the biz!
