“Aside from its obvious beauty, there is something very personal about Claire’s work. Every letter in every word is afforded equal love, flair and precision. I was lucky enough to receive a card from her and I treasure it as I would a painting. If the devil is in the detail, he has parties in Claire’s calligraphy.”

“Claire is an amazing artist. Her skills not only exceed any engraving I have seen before but her professionalism is beyond any expectation. Whilst in the Boutique she not only engraved but used her amazing calligraphy skills to create gift cards for clients. She settled in easily and clients loved not only seeing her amazing work in action, but she also engaged with everyone and made her skill an animation to itself. She delivered an impeccable service which was an incredible outcome for us. I would certainly recommend Claire for any event. ”

“It was an absolute pleasure to have Claire with us in the boutique - her engraving skills are without doubt the best I have seen over years of engraving events that I have hosted whilst working for the brand. She effortlessly engaged with each of our customers, showing interest for each and every item that was to be engraved as well as making recommendations to suit each product. She is charming, professional and looks the part. We would be delighted to have her in store with us again. ”

“Claire was a dream to work with and I would recommend her to anyone! Our visions perfectly aligned and there was so much attention to detail, right through from initial ideas to the final product. The work Claire produced on our wedding day bought the whole event together … our guests continue to comment on how beautiful it was. It perfectly complemented the grand nature of the venue, and this is something Claire captured so well. In the evening, the candlelight set the gold of the calligraphy off flawlessly and I will treasure those memories forever.”
— Anya Roberts-Blake

She is the ULTIMATE calligraphy queen and we feel so lucky to have been able to snap her up to do our wedding stationery, as well as some other bits such as an order of the day pallet and engraved bottles. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she is always eager to help. She has such a magical touch and makes everything she puts her hand to so beautiful; everything is always done to utter perfection. So, if you are reading this thinking, “Shall I book Claire?” - DO IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!”

“Claire’s work brought tears (happy ones) to our eyes! We composed a poem as part of a wedding speech for some dear family members and wanted this written calligraphically - our first thought was to print it and we are incredibly happy we didn’t go ahead with that idea! After a very friendly phone call with Claire, and after sending her very minimal items we had around that incorporated the wedding theme, she created a stunning piece that instantly got us teary. The poem was beautifully written in gold-bronze ink and she integrated the wedding theme perfectly. Without a doubt we will contact her for any future bespoke pieces and we recommend you do too!”
— ALINA LAZAR
“I approached Claire originally to see if she could design some name tags and a seating plan for an upcoming event we are holding for a new product launch. After looking at all of Claire’s work, I discovered her work of engraving - we decided together to do something different and engrave on sample bottles of the product we were launching, to then fill with liquid as a keepsake for attendees of the event. The entire process ran so smoothly and we worked collaboratively to ensure the desired outcome. The bottles looked absolutely beautiful, and you can tell Delfont Ink puts so much passion into every project carried out. Claire is by far the most personable, professional and organised supplier I have ever worked with - the whole process has been an absolute pleasure and I would recommend her services to anybody looking for a talented calligrapher!”
