About

The Calligraphy Collective a UK-wide community for anyone who loves calligraphy, lettering, and all things hand-crafted.

Whether you're just getting started or have a drawer full of nibs and inks, you're welcome here. We're building a space for meetups, workshops, creative events, and plenty of fun things still in the works (trust us, you'll want to stay in the loop!).

Where it started

The Calligraphy Collective started with one big idea (and a lot of ink): bring calligraphers together for a day of creativity, connection, and community. That first event took place in sunny Dorset in 2024, and it was magical, full of pens, paper, inspiration, and new friendships.

Who’s behind it all

The Calligraphy Collective is hosted by Milly Withers, the face behind Blink Lettering. Milly is a colourful modern calligrapher, workshop leader, and all-round lettering enthusiast who loves nothing more than bringing people together through creativity. She’s passionate about creating inclusive, inspiring spaces where people can learn, laugh, and fall in love with calligraphy, again and again.

This is just the beginning, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
