Hi, I'm Laura
Very Pleased to Meet You!
It’s my joy to foster inspiration through the art of pointed-pen calligraphy. With more than 20 years of calligraphy experience, I have been serving wedding clients with my wide-range of handwritten scripts as well as stationery design & print production services.
Additionally, our small family business creates educational resources and curates top notch calligraphy supplies for those interested in learning the art. We believe calligraphy should be approachable so that others can flourish in their creativity and inject a little bit of fancy into the world through the art of pointed-pen.
the LHC Story
Laura Hooper Calligraphy has been serving up handwritten scripts since 2002 for countless couples, corporate clients, and even a celeb or two (yes, stars: they love calligraphy just like us!), handcrafting everything from addressed envelopes to stationery design & print production to custom signage, all from our Old Town Alexandria, Virginia studio.
Laura has personally trained under three amazing master penman to date; Michael Sull, Vivian Mungall, and Harvest Crittenden. She is an active member of IAMPETH & certified instructor of American Cursive Handwriting.
Laura’s sister Alyssa came on as Director of Operations a few years ago, allowing us to take our family business around the world with online video courses, in-person workshops, and our much-loved Calligraphy Starter Kit. More than 15,000 new calligraphers are out in the world now thanks to our little shop & educational resources — a fun fact we think our parents should put on the refrigerator!
