I have been doing calligraphy for over 14 years now and I have learnt many styles of writing. My main aim is to recreate documents dating back as early as the 9th century. All the pieces I do are hand crafted orignals and finished with gold leaf and I use traditional colours for the period. Most recently I have been working with the South Bank Show on a programme called the Adventure of English, The Discovery Channel and the BBC. I also do school displays and museums.
