Alice’s story

Working from my studio in East London, I get to spend my days designing stationery and lettering for all of your most splendid events. From large event signage to tiny place names, I love drawing fancy lettering on everything and anything at your request.

When I started looking into learning Modern Calligraphy in 2014, no such classes existed in London. I had to teach myself with the help of lots of reading on Besotted and Iampeth (look them up, they are so wise). I ended up spending a lot of money on the wrong equipment. It still pains me to remember it. And because I couldn’t work out if my tools were wrong or whether it was my technique, it took me a very long time to reach a stage where I could bear to show the general public.

So I created the Calligraphy Starter Kit to solve the issue of wasting money on unnecessary beginners supplies… and then I started running workshops so I could correct technique which can make learning a lot quicker.

As well as booking up one of my courses, on my website you’ll find a shop. I sell a range of beautiful inks, stationery supplies and handmade signs.

If you’re looking for heartfelt, hand-lettered loveliness for your wedding or event, Alice Gabb is your lady.

From her studio in East London, Alice designs stationery, signage and lettering for creative, adventurous couples who plan to celebrate the whatever-makes-you-happy. She’s all about lettering that’s perfectly imperfect and creating authentic, bespoke designs that fully represent how magnificent you are.

Aside from designing commissions, you may have seen her lingering around East London in a jumpsuit hunting out tea and cake, leading a calligraphy workshop, or doing personalised hand lettering in-store for London’s finest department stores.

As well as designing wedding stationery, Alice collaborates with the wonderful Cat Taylor (Keep. Collect), to create their own range of luxury and bespoke modern heirlooms, The Safekeeping Society.
