Lynda Margaret – Calligrapher

I create custom calligraphy pieces and lettering work.

Do you want work created for you? Contact me here to discuss your project.

I approach every project with the mindset of developing my profession. My work reflects my high standards. I am focused, deliberate, and uncompromising in my process, ensuring that every stroke, every design, and every detail upholds the integrity of my profession.

My current motivators:

  • Creation swells, scarcity contracts
  • Anchor your practice in ritual and play
  • Focus on the journey, it’s an unknown destination
  • Do the practice!
  • Each step is its own experience, not a race to the next step
  • The body learns before the mind believes
  • Build one block at a time
  • Steps of time – not incremental
  • Show up each day and do the work carefully
  • Let the act of practising itself shape you

  • Am I One of The Last Calligraphers?
    As scribes are becoming rarer and rarer in todays world, I often wonder if I’m one of the last calligraphers. The use of script or cursive (running writing) have been slowly fading since the typewriter arrived, and today, many children can’t even read what we once learned as normal handwriting. While I’m of the generation… Read More Am I One of The Last Calligraphers?
  • Is this a Passion or a Profession?
    There comes a moment when a passion quietly asks a serious question: Are you ready to treat me like a professional? Is this a Passion or a Profession? I have realised that I have reached that moment with calligraphy. Loving something is easy. Turning that love into disciplined practice is something else entirely. A profession… Read More Is this a Passion or a Profession?

    Last year, I took an unused storage room and slowly converted it into my dream “studio space.” I named it Mr Snugglebunny’s Office. Mr Snugglebunny is the weighted bunny rabbit I sometimes cuddle. Instead of calling it an Office or Studio, which felt too formal, I let the room be whimsical and flexible. He’s always… Read More How to Set Up a Calligraphy Studio
