Welcome…
Calligraphy sets my soul on fire and creating bespoke handwritten pieces to tell your story is a total joy. Whether it’s updating a chalkboard for your business, crafting an inspirational wall for your school, writing your wedding vows, or turning the lyrics of your first dance into a beautiful piece of art, I love creating hand-lettered happiness.
I’m also passionate about sharing my love of calligraphy and love holding themed workshops throughout the year for both adults and children, guiding others to explore this beautiful art and tap into their creative potential.


Hello!
I’m Katie
.. and I’m so happy to meet you! I’m a lover of stationery, books, letter writing, a glass of chilled rosé and all things pretty and handwritten. I am told I always had a pen or pencil in my hand from a very young age and have precious memories spending days with my Mum being creative, whether we were following a Blue Peter project or just getting the paints and glitter out and feeling free to create whatever I wanted. Those memories fueled a continuous love for creativity that has only grown over time. I qualified as a primary school teacher in 2006 and I was constantly looking for ways to bring learning to life in colourful and creative ways.
In March 2018, I lost my mum after a courageous 10-month battle with bowel cancer. This loss shifted my perspective on life, inspiring me to embrace my true self and reconnect with the roots of my creativity. A month later, I attended a brush lettering workshop, and it was there that I discovered my calling.
Calligraphy became my way to channel my pain and grief. It was a form of meditation, where focusing on letter shapes and words allowed me to step away from my thoughts and get lost in the act of writing. I truly believe calligraphy helped to heal my heart.
Growing up opposite a beautiful bluebell wood, I’ve named my business Bluebell Lettering as a tribute to my mum. Every time I write, I feel as though she’s still walking this journey with me.
I started creating lettering pieces for friends and family and it grew organically and excitingly from there. I now work with local businesses and schools across Northamptonshire to elevate events and spaces with hand lettering and artwork. I take great pride in creating one of a kind, high-quality signs and hand-lettered pieces and artwork that connect with people and their stories.
I am so thankful to be in a position to share my love of calligraphy and teach others. I love combining my passion for teaching and calligraphy by holding workshops for all ages. In this busy, digital world, carving out time for yourself has never been more important, to switch off and be creative. I hold my own calligraphy workshops for both personal and corporate clients, and also in schools to share the joy of modern calligraphy to children and staff alike.
As well as on my site, you can discover pictures of my most recent hand written work on my Instagram @bluebell.lettering and Facebook Page, @bluebell.lettering.
Thank you so much for sharing this joyful handwritten journey and for supporting my small business! It honestly means everything to me.
