Freelance Calligraphers

The Australian Society of Calligraphers provides this list of freelance calligraphers who are members of the ASC as a service and does not specifically endorse them. All business arrangements are strictly between you and the calligrapher. The Society takes no responsibility for issues that may arise as a result of any business relationship. Each Calligrapher is listed with contact details, location, qualifications and speciality. Where available, a link to the calligrapher's website is also provided.

May we offer the following suggestions:

Contact several calligraphers, as prices, availability & character of workmanship may vary
If you feel it is necessary, ask to see the calligrapher's portfolio, or ask for samples related to the type of work you want to commission and discuss the calligrapher's background, experience, and available references
It is beneficial, when asking for a cost estimate, to have the following information ready
- Necessary wording, and any additional artwork information that is to be used
- Completion date / turnaround time
- Pickup / delivery options
- Quantities necessary for the job
- Materials you would like used, (paper, ink etc)
  (Calligraphers will be able guide you in this choice if you are unsure)
