Artwork

Chiara is based in East Sussex, and is available to work on artwork commissions such as illustrations, products, and original painting, murals or collaborations with brands with clients all over the world. She works on a very limited number of bespoke wedding stationery a year mostly for Italian weddings (taking bookings up to 2 years in advance), but does not manage any printing, although she is happy to recommend her favourite printers. Chiara no longer creates modern calligraphy.

Nib + Ink Book

In 2016 Chiara wrote and illustrated ‘Nib + Ink’ the UK’s first modern calligraphy and lettering workbook, published by Ebury, Penguin Random House. It is also available from Abrams Noterie in the US, and as a Dutch version. Nib + Ink is an immersive book, where you can write directly onto the lay flat smooth paper, and Chiara’s guidance will help you discover exciting, creative and interesting ways to personalise your stationery, add a flourish to your correspondence and develop your own unique style of modern calligraphy. Click here to buy. In late 2019 Chiara will also be launching an online tutorial to accompany the book.
