Anthea is a Calligrapher and Lettering Artist based in Suffolk with a special interest in gold illumination. Her love of literature, the visual arts and history informs all her work; using different writing instruments, quills, metal nibs and brushes on vellum, paper and wood. She teaches private individuals, runs workshop and works to commission.

​

Her studio was once the old tailor's shop, Stitcher Hollocks by name, and overlooks the green of a medieval village. He can still be remembered sitting cross legged on his work bench, threading the air with his needle, where now she wields her pen.
