There is something inherently personal about a handwritten piece. The subtle imperfections and variations of each letter, the richness of ink on fine paper - details no printed alternative can replicate.

about

I'm Lucy - founder of Lucy Crosthwaite Studio.

After studying at the London College of Fashion and spending years working with some of the world’s most respected luxury brands, I established my own studio, bringing the same discerning eye for detail to calligraphy that I developed through my background in fashion design, floristry and events.

I work across a wide range of calligraphy styles, from traditional Copperplate to bespoke handwriting developed for brands and their correspondence. Equally at home scribing wedding invitations as crafting personalised notes for luxury houses, every piece is approached with the same level of care, precision and attention to detail.

WHAT I DO

Lucy Crosthwaite Studio offers a full range of calligraphy services from dinner menus and place cards to wedding invitations and framed commissions, and everything in between. Every piece is personally tailored to your style and aesthetic.

Rather than following trends, I take the time to understand what you actually want, guiding you through styles, helping you find your own visual language, and gently steering you towards something that will feel unique, yet timeless.

Invitation suites, envelope addressing, place cards, menus and placements, handled with care from first conversation to finished piece.

Weddings & Events

Bespoke handwritten scripts, branded correspondence and gifting for companies who understand the value of the handmade touch. I have developed handwriting styles for a number of well-known luxury brands.

Fashion & BRANDS

Live Event Calligraphy

I write live at events, personalising gifts, keepsakes and products in real time. A thoughtful detail guests remember long after the event.

classes

I teach calligraphy, hosting classes as branded activities as well as private one-to-one lessons.
