I'm Natasha Linskill, a calligrapher based in Whanganui-a-Tara, helping people slow down and rediscover the pleasure of putting pen to paper with mindfulness and intention.
I also create hand-lettered pieces, from places cards to custom keepsakes, both in-studio and as live events. My work is designed to be noticed and treasured long after the celebration has ended.
Services
Workshops
I have been holding calligraphy workshops around Aotearoa for six years and believe anyone can discover the pleasure of putting pen to paper. I love helping people slow down, learn a new skill, and enjoy the process in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
In-Studio
I create bespoke, thoughtful hand-lettered pieces for weddings and brand events, adding a personal touch that delights guests and can become a treasured reminder long after the occasion.
Live Events
I can personalise gift packaging or cards while customers or guests watch, creating a sense of occasion and connection. It’s a beautiful way to make an event or brand experience feel more thoughtful and special.
