I am a professional calligrapher, former resident of Clare and now living in
Norfolk. I work to commission - writing names on invitations, writing out
poems, writing up family trees, creating presentation certificates.
Recent customers have been Norfolk Police and RAF Marham.
The most popular request is to write out a wedding reading or wedding vows
as a first anniversary present - the theme of which is paper. When I moved
to Norfolk my students asked me to continue running the calligraphy
workshops in the Old School in Clare so I return once every 2 months. Some
of these students have been attending the workshops for 12 years but new
members are always welcome.

Some shopping options for
Christmas at Baythorne End
Opened in November 2014, the Cookery
School, Wine & Kitchen Shop and Events
venue at Baythorne Hall is one of East
Anglia's most exciting destinations for
lovers of great food and wine.
The family run business, set in traditional
farm buildings, stocks over 180 wines
available from around the world (many
of which are open to taste). It also has an
extensive range of high quality kitchen-
ware, the shop is well worth a visit. If this
isn't possible then fear not, their full
range is now available to purchase
online.
