 Beginning​​  Calligraphy

Copperplate Class

6 week class fee $150 (pen and materials included)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Envelope  Addressing
 is one  of many services I offer.  While black ink and the formal Italic hand are standard, I can also match fonts similar to the type faces  of the bride's invitation. 

Formal Italic/Black ink are standard
     Per envelope___$1.00 each envelope
                        +  $1.00  Per line
Extra:
Lined or dark envelopes. $1.00 each per set (inner and outer envelopes)
Matching printer's font.    $.50 per set
Color match (other than black) for writing.        $.50 per set
Rush orders-add 50%
*Some envelope finishes are wonderful to address while others can present major problems in accepting ink or gouache. Therefore, I must charge an additional $.50/envelope, to "treat" each difficult envelope before writing on it.  I need to test one before I can accurately quote the price.

Welcome to Betsy Rivers Kennedy's Web Site

A lot of my work consists of commissioned pieces like the works shown.
I can offer anything from black letters on white paper to 24K gold on vellum, illustrated or illuminated.
I calculate the cost of a simple writing by the letter-$.40 to $1.00 per letter- and the materials I am incorporating.  Then, depending on the budget, I can include artwork.
