Meet Jane Lappage
Beautiful writing, shared with warmth
I’ve been practising calligraphy since 2005, and I love helping people discover the calm, creativity and confidence that come from learning beautiful lettering.
Calligraphy Arts is a family-run business that I run with my husband, Nick. Together we create hand-lettered pieces for special occasions, develop workshop projects, and carefully select quality calligraphy supplies for our online shop.

My calligraphy journey
My own journey began with evening classes and a love for traditional letterforms. What started with small handmade projects soon grew into commissions and teaching. Over the years I’ve created everything from delicate wedding stationery to meaningful keepsakes and bold, modern lettering designs.
I’m inspired by nature, meaningful words and the small details that make a piece feel personal. Whether you’re looking for something unique or would like to learn the skills yourself, you’re in the right place.

Workshops & classes
Teaching is a huge part of what I do. I run welcoming calligraphy workshops for every level, from complete beginners to experienced calligraphers who want to refine their technique or explore a new style.
Classes are available online and in person, with many held across the UK Midlands. I also teach from Calligraphy Arts HQ through one-to-one sessions and small-group classes.
