Calligraphy Engraving
Clients can personalize items with a name, initials, a date, or a short phrase. Using a freehand rotary engraver, I lightly carve the text into the item in calligraphy.
Many people have never had anything engraved before, and absolutely love the opportunity to have their purchases customized!
Engravable Items:
- Wine and Spirit Bottles
- Glass Fragrance Bottles
- Cocktail glasses
- Cosmetic Brushes, Cases, and mirrors
- Enameled water bottles, insulated wine cups, camp coffee mugs
- Copper mugs
- Metal candle lids
***Note: Pressurized bottles such as champagne and prosecco cannot be engraved because of the danger of explosion. I can, however, write in calligraphy on bottles of bubbly with a paint pen! Lovely and safe!

Limiting the amount of text is a great way to help your clients decide how to personalize their product and keep the event going smoothly. Here are a few ideas for engraving themes:

Live Calligraphy and Engraving Pricing & Terms
$800 minimum for up to 4 hours
This price is the same for all onsite services. To give you an idea of volume, I can engrave 20-25 glasses per hour with a first name without filling them with a metallic wax.
I’ll provide the ink, pens, hot foiling, or engraving equipment. Unless otherwise discussed, the client is responsible for providing items to be personalized, a table with a chair, and adequate lighting.
The size of the item being calligraphed on will determine how many words I can add per customized item. With the interest of time, I normally limit the text to 2-5 words.
