Brahmin Lettering Co.

5.0(89)

Glasgow

I’m Caitlin. Modern Calligraphy artist, stationery designer and general admirer of all things beautiful lettering. Brahmin Lettering Co. is just me – a self-taught girl who loves beautiful paper, an American managing to resist the lure of deep fried Mars bars in my adopted home of Scotland. Growing up in the shadow of my mother's elegant handwriting – her shopping lists alone would put most professional calligraphers to shame – beautiful lettering was in my blood. After a taking a refresher course with a friend in the lead up to her wedding, I officially caught the modern calligraphy bug. And so Brahmin Lettering Co. was born out of my tiny apartment in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013, named to pay homage to its discretely elegant Boston Brahmins. It has since grown with me through a sometimes gruelling former career in design and advertising, travelling across the ocean to Scotland and after years of 60 hour weeks juggling it all, is now my full-time career love baby. Out of my home studio just outside Glasgow, Scotland, I work as a full-time calligraphy artist. I create luxury wedding stationery, paint wedding backdrops and take on artwork commissions of all shapes and sizes. I also love to help others learn the art, running modern calligraphy and brush lettering classes online and in-person throughout Scotland, England the wider United Kingdom. When I’m not working, I’m playing full time mama to two of the loudest little boys you could imagine, scheming up my next adventure abroad or trying to learn a new craft.
