Artisan Workshop: Perfect Calligraphy with Merrie and Bright

Thursday 16th May

from 6pm

Merrie and Bright – leading stationer and calligrapher – shares her secrets to perfect calligraphy. Perfect for those who want to write their own stationary.

Founded in 2015, Merrie & Bright creates elegant hand-lettered details, design-led wedding stationery, and luxurious paper goods.

"I’ve always enjoyed beautiful handwriting. As a child, I would practice my letters over and over until I achieved the perfect shape. When my grandparents gave me my first glass dip pen and ink, I discovered a world filled with precise letterforms and perfect pen strokes.

Years later, when I found myself housebound following surgery, the urge to play with pen and ink returned. I fell in love with calligraphy all over again, and eventually Merrie & Bright was born.

Specialising in wedding invitation suites, envelope addressing, laser-cut signs, on-the-day stationery, and modern calligraphy workshops, I’m passionate about finding new ways to surround ourselves with the unique style and beauty of hand-lettering.

Transforming ideas into beautiful keepsakes that can be treasured forever, I love working on unique projects and have previously designed tattoos, hand-lettered wedding vows, and bespoke home décor."

Places for this workshop are limited so book early as this will be very popular.

This workshop will take place in our Oxford shop.

Cost includes refreshments.
