Calligraphy and Lettering Artist
Ellie Shopova-Smith

I’m Ellie, a calligrapher and engraving artist based in Yorkshire, working with couples, brands and creatives across Leeds, Manchester and the wider UK.

I create bespoke calligraphy and live engraving for weddings, events and commercial projects — thoughtful, hand-lettered work made using traditional tools and finished with care. Alongside commissioned work, I also teach calligraphy through small-group workshops and tailored corporate sessions across the North of England.

From intimate celebrations to large-scale events, I work with clients who value artistry, craftsmanship and the lasting impact of something made with thoughtful intention.
