Welcome…

Calligraphy sets my soul on fire and creating bespoke handwritten pieces to tell your story is a total joy. Whether this is updating a chalkboard for your business, creating a wall of inspiration in your school, writing your wedding vows, lyrics to your first dance or a special poem in beautiful calligraphy, I simply love to create hand lettered happiness. I also strive to share my love of calligraphy by teaching others through various themed workshops throughout the year.

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 have always been artistic and in my previous job as a primary school teacher, I was constantly looking for ways to bring learning to life in colourful and creative ways.

I discovered calligraphy when I went on a brush lettering workshop just after my Mum passed away in 2018. Calligraphy helped me channel my pain and grief; it was a form of meditation – concentrating on creating letter shapes and words on paper meant I could come out of my head for a while and get lost in writing. I truly believe calligraphy helped my heart to heal. I grew up opposite the most beautiful bluebell wood and so by naming my business Bluebell Lettering, I feel like my Mum is still on the 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 resonate 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.

Katie delivered the most amazing and inspirational calligraphy workshop to our staff on a team building day. Katie was so patient and attentive in her teaching. The session was calming, engaging and whet the calligraphy appetite of all staff. We quickly saw lots of examples of the newly learned skills in displays and labels around school! We soon invited Katie back into school to work with our Year 5 and 6 classes.

We recently had Katie from Bluebell Lettering come in to our Year 5 and 6 classes for a series of wellbeing and calligraphy workshops. The sessions were so enjoyable for the children, who were taught the basic skills of calligraphy, and as the weeks progressed so did their personal skills. The children were so focused on these new skills and could not wait to use them in every piece of written work they have completed since.

I fully recommend Katie’s sessions.

Katie ran a successful after school Calligraphy Club, her enthusiasm and the creative nature of the activities she provided attracted a number of pupils across KS2, including some boys who were reluctant writers. The benefit for all pupils, in terms of their fine motor control, their creativity and also their well-being and self-esteem was very marked. It was a joy to watch them all so engrossed in their writing and seeing them so proud of the work they produced.

Working with Katie and her creative mind has been a pleasure. With a chat, a drawing or sometimes just a small idea, she has been able to transform our school’s interior to a bright and welcoming place. Her use of calligraphy has made displays more exciting, and more children stop by them in awe. We all love the work that has been complete and can’t wait for the next project with her. Thank you so much.

It was wonderful to work with Katie during our event for Jaguar Landrover. She was booked to arrive during our very busy event set up period and was prompt, well prepared and self-sufficient. Her ability to adapt and diligently work in a busy environment was very much appreciated and I was delighted with the certificates she produced. Many thanks Katie, I look forward to working with you again.

The workshop Katie ran for my retreat was brilliant!! So simple for beginners but also inspiring to want you to try something slightly harder. Nothing could have made it better! The pack, the display, the kindness of the teaching: everything was perfect!

As a team of 12, we were looking for a fun workshop to do as a team building day and came across Katie and her amazing calligraphy. We all so enjoyed spending a couple of hours learning a new skill, and whilst it inevitably got a little competitive, we all found it very calming and relaxing. We’ve all continued playing around with the lettering styles in the brilliant pack Katie put together, and thank you letters have taken on a whole new level of artistic flair!

Thank you Bluebell Lettering for creating a beautiful welcome sign for our wedding! We were really keen to use local small businesses for our wedding and we found Katie on Instagram. Katie was really easy to communicate with and bounce ideas off of about how we wanted our sign to look. She kept us updated throughout the process, and created an amazing sign which was the entrance to our tipi wedding, we had lots of lovely comments about it from guests and was exactly what we had pictured. Thank you!
