Claire Delfont is an onsite calligrapher and engraver specialising in live events. Clients include the House of Dior, Maison Valentino, Cartier, Diptyque, Gucci, Burberry, Armani and a host of others. Based out of her studio in Surrey, Claire also works with planners to provide a range of services including beautifully hand lettered place cards, invitations, menus and envelope addressing, adding luxury and elegance to your event or celebration. Last year’s highlights were providing calligraphy services for the Grand Opening of the new Peninsula Hotel London, engraving for the Cartier Boutique in London for their first live hand engraving event and providing engraving services on the Maiden Voyages of Cunard’s Queen Anne. This year’s highlights so far include ongoing work as part of the teams at Valentino and Armani Beauty and being the onsite stationer / engraver for a three day event in St. Tropez for Califano Productions.

The most simple message can be made memorable with a touch of individuality. A lowly placecard, when hand lettered, becomes a treasured keepsake of a wonderful evening. Flowing calligraphy on an envelope will set an exclusive tone for your event weeks in advance, and is often kept on show alongside the invitation. Bespoke personalisation by an on-site calligrapher and engraver adds to the theatre of any event. People love seeing their names written beautifully and I can help you with that!
