Scottish Calligraphy Artist

Welcome! My name is Jemma Toller, working from my home studio in Tayside and specialising in elegant pointed pen scripts.

I have received training from several internationally renowned calligraphers and am a member of Calligraphy & Arts Society and the International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers & Teachers of Handwriting.

My work has been included in an international online exhibition in 2020 and I created the commemorative certificate signed by King Charles III & Queen Camilla currently on display in The Great Tapestry of Scotland Museum.

I have a passion for this traditional art form, an eye for detail and love to listen, interpret and transform your words into deeply personal and individualised artwork.

Client Testimonials

 

“Even more beautiful than I had imagined. Such lovely clear calligraphy in the most beautiful deep blue. Can’t wait to get it framed.
And it was wonderfully presented if anyone is thinking of giving some calligraphy as a gift.”

— Dr Claudia Camden-Smith

 

“.What do you give a couple getting married who already have everything they need? Why, a beautiful locally handcrafted commemorative artwork, of course! Jemma worked remotely with me to figure out what format we thought would look best and appeal most to the couple. A few sketches & emails later, all was in hand & Jemma kept me posted with progress towards deadline for collection. Nothing quite like seeing it in person, though - I was really pleased with the result & Jemma's personal touch adds meaning & value to my gift. The bride & groom were very impressed & the artwork is flexible enough for them to decide upon how & where to display. Thanks again Jemma”

— Mr Mark Thompson

“Fantastic product. This was a very personal experience, Jemma produced a beautiful piece of calligraphy, part of a song my husband wrote. She made sure everything was perfect and checked with me every step of the way to make sure I was happy. Just delighted!”

— Prof. Rhoda MacKenzie

 

Thank you Jemma for creating such a beautiful piece of artwork for my parents 45th wedding anniversary. It was exactly what I had asked for and so much better than I imagined. The attention to detail, including the packaging, made the whole piece even more special. My parents loved it. You are a true professional, thank you so much
