A New Focus: Combining lettering and botanical art.

Jan Boyd Calligraphy has been a leading Boston and New England based calligraphy studio dedicated to the fine art of hand-lettering and design for over 40 years. Jan is experienced in many styles of lettering and enjoys creating a variety of special projects.  She  recently received a Certificate in Botanical Art from the Wellesley College Botanical Gardens program (now located at Massachusetts Horticulture’s gardens at Elm Bank).   This rigorous program combines intensive studio work in watercolor along with a series of required courses including research and presentation, botany studies and more, culminating in an intense final project: an exhibition of 6 completed, and thoroughly critiqued original, framed watercolor paintings.  Jan personally creates all of the calligraphy and design work on her site and is enjoying semi-retirement to pursue more watercolor work and art that combines her lettering and botanicals.

All work is hand-lettered.

All of Jan’s calligraphy is created by hand, giving it a uniqueness and warmth not found in computer generated fonts. While moving away from much of the wedding work she has done for years, Jan still enjoys special projects using her lettering,  often combining calligraphy and botanicals.
