Hi there! I’m Melanie, a calligrapher based in Metro Detroit. I’ve been doodling “fancy letters” since I was a kid and have always loved the beauty of the handwritten word. I began learning calligraphy in earnest in 2019 when I took my first pointed pen class, and I was hooked! At the end of 2020 I was diagnosed with cancer and had to put my pens down to focus on my health. Once in remission, I came back to calligraphy in 2022 as a way to rebuild my hand strength and coordination and it’s been such a help! Since then, I’ve also been learning new calligraphy styles, engraving and woodburning. I’ve been fortunate enough to be commissioned for event signage, invitation lettering and ornament engraving. When I’m not playing with pens and ink, you’ll find me knitting socks (because who doesn’t love cozy toes?), or spending time with my family. You can find my calligraphy adventures on IG @ScriptedNest and hope you’ll say hi!

I’m so excited to be part of the Sip & Script community and can’t wait to welcome you to class!
