Working with Mathilda was an absolute joy – she took on our ever evolving brief with meticulous attention to detail and incredible efficiency to create beautifully bespoke materials for our event, which she delivered in record turnaround time. In addition, Mathilda was super flexible and offered advice and support throughout the production process which was incredibly helpful and reassuring – I have recommended her to every PR and party planner I know!

FAQ
About event calligraphy & engraving —
What is Hand engraving and how does it work?
Hand engraving is the process of carving a design into a solid surface (most popular is glass) by hand. After I receive your enquiry the first thing I do is to do a draft of the design. This sets the mood for the piece, helps me work out how the engraving will look best on the product and make sure the design feels balanced and beautiful together with any existing decorations (e.g. labels, the shape of the product). I then engrave the design by hand using a hand-held engraving drill, leaving a momentous and luxurious impression. After the engraving is completed it can be filled with gold or silver if desired.
Would hand engraving be very loud and obtrusive at my event?
The hand engraving tool I use has a brushless motor which means it’s much quieter than many larger engraving machines. The drill does produce a bit of noise but it isn’t very loud or obtrusive by any means. As it’s portable I can easily bring it to on-site events.
How long does it take until I have my calligraphy items?
Turnaround time for event calligraphy will depend on the design complexity and time of year. It all depends on what you need so get in touch and I’ll create some of that calligraphy loveliness for you.
What happens if our campaign idea changes and evolves while we’re working together?
Before I became a full time calligrapher I worked in advertising so I know all about those ever changing deadlines and requirements. I always encourage you to let me know about any changes as soon as possible as it will help me do the updates as quickly as possible.
I have some beautiful gift tags/christmas ornaments/other custom material I would love for you to come to my shop to personalise. Would this be possible?
I love experimenting with new materials, almost anything is possible. Send me a note with your ideas to hello@mathildalundin.com and we can chat it through.
Can you source and provide materials?
