Live Engraving
Hand engraving is an artisan technique which involves meticulously etching personalised designs such as names, initials or a special date onto various surfaces such as metal and glass, transforming items into unique, high-quality keepsakes. Perfect for product launches, corporate events and engraving for gifts.
All that is required to carry out on-site engraving is a workspace and a chair. Using a cordless portable micro drill, customisations are permanently etched by hand onto the surface, creating a personalised touch that’ll have everyone talking and sharing on their social media!
Examples include:
Fragrance bottles
Candle Jars
Spirit Bottles
Metal tumblers
Lipstick and compact cases
* Please note that champagne bottles can’t be engraved but they can be written on using special pens.

I use a small, brushless motor engraving tool that is much quieter than many larger engraving machines. While there is some noise as the burr etches the glass, it isn't very loud or obtrusive. In fact, the sound has its benefits as it often captures customers' attention, drawing them in to see what is happening.

Exquisite Craftsmanship
My work is characterised by an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether it’s a personalised wedding invitation or a branded piece for a corporate event, my calligraphy is designed to leave a lasting impression.
Tailored Experiences
I understand that every event is unique, and I tailor my services to meet the specific needs and preferences of my clients. From choosing the perfect ink and writing implement to customising designs that align with the event’s theme, I ensure that my calligraphy complements and enhances the overall experience.
Live Artistry
One of the most captivating aspects of my service is the live demonstration of calligraphy. Guests can watch as I transform a blank piece of paper into a beautiful, hand-lettered creation. This interactive element not only adds a touch of elegance to any event but also engages and entertains attendees, making the experience truly memorable.

With 18 years of experience in the industry, I bring a high level of professionalism to every project. I understand the importance of reliability and punctuality, especially in the fast-paced environment of live events. My clients can trust that I will deliver exceptional work on time, every time.
Luxury Brand Expertise
Specialising in collaborations with luxury brands, I have developed a keen understanding of the high standards and expectations that come with such partnerships. I have had the pleasure of working with well-known brands such as Jo Malone, Estée Lauder, Tanqueray, Pierre Cardin and Jimmy Choo in high-end stores such as Harrods and Selfridges.
Personalised Keepsakes
Guests at events not only witness the creation of calligraphy but also leave with personalised keepsakes. These hand-lettered mementos serve as cherished reminders of the event, adding a personal touch that guests will remember long after the occasion has ended.
