commissions
Many of our Fellows accept commissions and are available to be contacted when you are seeking a calligrapher to create a special piece of work.
Whether it’s envelope addressing, wedding invitations, a family tree, a poem, or a piece of heraldry, there will be a calligrapher with the skills to fulfill your commission.
We suggest you peruse the list of CLAS Fellows and contact them directly. Additionally, there is a link below to a broader listing of calligraphers, letterers, and illuminators who are members of CLAS and available to accept commissions. This will provide you with an expanded selection and the opportunity to choose from artists in your area.
Please have as much information as possible ready to provide to your chosen calligrapher regarding the type of work you desire.
Always request a quote for the job, and keep in mind that if you desire color, gold, illustration, or heraldry, it will typically require more time and incur additional costs.
Calligraphers often have busy periods, especially at certain times of the year. They will require sufficient time to prepare and execute your commission, so please ensure they have ample time to do so.
