Published and Commissioned Works

Our members have been featured in numerous publications. From magazines to books to movie set props, here you can see a sample of the great things our members are up to. If you have a project that needs calligraphy or illumination, please contact us. Include as many specifics about the project as you can, e.g. your expected deadline, quantity of items required, your budget, and a general outline of the project. Then we can forward your request to the most appropriate calligrapher.
