Calligraphy with Carla H.

Carla Hagan Designs

Hello, my name is Carla and I would like to welcome you to my my class. For the past 10 years, I have been a professional calligrapher specializing in wedding calligraphy for invitations, envelopes, place cards, Programs, menus, and seating charts. I also perform custom commissioned work for bar-mitzvahs, galas, and charity events. As a child I can remember watching my grandmother carefully write out elegant letters long before email and the internet, when handwritten correspondence was commonplace. We lived in different parts of the country, and my grandmother and I would often communicate through letters. I fondly remember waiting in anticipation for a letter from her, and always being impressed with the quality of her handwriting. On my 10th birthday, my grandmother gave me my first calligraphy kit, and I fell in love with the written word. Ever since, I have taken advantage of this unique skill whenever possible, whether it’s writing out invitations, or doing special projects for friends and family. In 1995, I turned my hobby into a business, and my client base has steadily grown. I am proud to be a member of the South Florida Calligraphy Guild and the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH). As I attend annual conferences and workshops amongst my enlightened peers, I am honored to learn and grow in the inspiring shadows of the Masters. My studio is located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, though I enjoy working with students nationwide.
