Calligraphy, by hand, from a professional calligrapher with personalized service and attention to detail is reminiscent of days gone by. Days of grace when small elegant touches meant so much. It is our belief that those things still matter, now more than ever. Whether we are illuminating a certificate or a prayer, working on a monogram design, logo design or custom design wedding invitations, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, stationery, place cards, or creating original artwork we give your project our undivided attention. Spencerian, copperplate, or pointed pen calligraphy can add so much to your special occasion. We offer service nationwide.

Always simple, elegant and timeless, we use only the finest papers available from around the world in our work. In addition to lettering and flourishing, we design our own vellum linings, and offer the attention to detail that you have come to expect from Acorn Arts.
We work closely with you to assure that each piece is a true reflection of your desires.

We are adding a lot more detail images of illuminated miniatures and prayers to our illuminated section, as well as an expanded biography of Jed Gibbons. Be sure to check that out. And we now have many workshops scheduled into 2008 that you will find linked on our workshops page. The calligraphy, illustrations and illumination within these pages are original works. Several are available as gilcee prints. There are gifts offered by various artists in our gift shop. There is information about workshops, custom lettering, illustrations, illuminated prayers, and so much more.

We accept corporate as well as private commissions with nationwide service. Wholesale inquiries are welcome. A portion of our proceeds goes toward charity. We invite you to read about the wonderful work that America's Second Harvest performs. You will find them on our links page.
