Live Calligraphy for Selfridges at Upstairs by Tom Shepherd

It was a pleasure to be back working with Selfridges as the live calligrapher for a special VIP dinner at Upstairs by Tom Shepherd in Lichfield.

Set within the beautiful Michelin-starred restaurant, I handwrote each guest’s name in black ink onto crisp white place names, creating a simple yet elegant finishing touch to the table.

The classic combination of black ink and white stationery worked beautifully alongside the sophisticated surroundings, adding a personal detail for each guest to discover when they took their seat.

Lichfield is such a beautiful city, and with a setting this stunning, it was a real pleasure to be part of such a special evening.

I love how live calligraphy can take something as simple as a place name and turn it into a memorable part of the guest experience.
