Hi, I'm Charlotte...
Photo by Lena Lim PhotographyI'm a Melbourne-based calligrapher and educator bridging the gap between classical calligraphy and modern lettering:
- •For traditional script lovers: Classically trained in Copperplate, Spencerian, and calligraphic flourishing, I focus on the timeless precision, stroke geometry, and elegant embellishments of the traditional pointed pen.
- •For modern lettering enthusiasts: I translate these foundational techniques into fluid modern calligraphy, expressive scripts, and digital iPad lettering, helping you find your own unique contemporary style.
I first discovered calligraphy as a teenager. Having always been drawn to art, I was instantly captivated by the precision, grace, and quiet beauty of the pointed pen. When I began university, I bought my first nib and holder, and quickly found myself spending more time practising letterforms than studying. What started as curiosity became devotion.
As I continued, I became increasingly aware of calligraphy as a fading craft, something often seen as either overly traditional or too intimidating to begin. I wanted to change that. Back in 2017, I hosted some of Melbourne's very first calligraphy workshops, driven by a simple mission: to make the art of pointed pen accessible to anyone, not just people already in the artistic field.
I began documenting my journey through @charlotte.script (formerly @charlottescript), sharing not just finished artwork, but the exact learning process behind it. Over time, Charlotte Script grew into one of the largest and most trusted calligraphy platforms in the world. I am deeply honored to have played a role in bringing calligraphy back into modern popularity, with over 10 billion video views and features by major media companies globally. Along the way, I've had the privilege of creating bespoke work for luxury international brands, celebrities, and private clients worldwide.
I was also one of the first educators to bring calligraphic 'flourishing' into modern popularity. Recognizing how overwhelming flourish design can feel, I pioneered a teaching method that breaks down complex flourishing into structured, accessible steps, turning what used to feel intimidating into a joyful, creative skill.
Taking a break & finding purpose...
Somewhere between rapid creative growth and a demanding corporate career, I became disconnected from the reason I started. Balancing both paths led to burnout, and I eventually stepped back to travel, reflect, and reconnect with what this craft actually meant to me. What became clear during that time is that calligraphy was never just about perfect strokes. It was about focus, slowness, and the quiet satisfaction of learning something by hand. Over the years, I've received countless messages from students who shared helped improve their lives, navigate difficult periods of their lives and reconnect with themselves. Those stories reshaped how I see this practice.
That is why Charlotte Script has evolved into something more intentional: a space dedicated to making calligraphy genuinely approachable, wherever you are starting from. Whether you've never picked up a pen before or are returning after years away, my focus is on creating learning experiences, worksheets, and online courses that are clear, deeply supportive, and empowering.
This isn't about scale for its own sake. It's about opening the door to a craft that has brought calm, confidence, and creative fulfillment to millions—and giving you a clear, structured path to master it yourself.
