Live Calligraphy, Engraving & Heat Foiling for Events
Bespoke Strokes brings live calligraphy, on-site engraving, and heat foiling personalization to brand activations, corporate events, hotel experiences, product launches, and private gatherings. Imagine your guest receiving something made by hand in real time: a name engraved on a whiskey glass, a personal inscription written in ink, a gold foil detail pressed onto a leather good while they watch. This is skilled craft performed live, and the moment it creates is one guests carry with them long after the event. Based in Seattle and available nationwide.

Online Calligraphy & Penmanship Courses
For those who write by hand but whose handwriting doesn't yet reflect the care they bring to everything else, I offer beautifully crafted online courses rooted in classical penmanship tradition. I teach Copperplate calligraphy through my own curriculum here at Bespoke Strokes, and serve as featured instructor for Montblanc's global Inspire Writing program. Whether you are drawn to the discipline of dip pen calligraphy or simply want a more refined everyday hand, my instruction is unhurried, precise, and built to last.
"I cannot thank you enough for the happiness you introduced into my life, for ushering me into a community that is so encouraging and accepting, for showing me an art that is challenging and yet overwhelmingly rewarding. Your class really did change my life."

-Portfolio-
Live event work, brand partnerships, and heirloom commissions. Every piece executed with the precision and intention of a seasoned penman.
- About the Artist -
Hello there
Lovely to meet you! My name is Chantelle Hoffmann and I'm the "hand" behind the work at Bespoke Strokes Calligraphy.
My signature calligraphy style is rooted in the traditions of Master Penmen of ages past and seeks to reflect a timeless, classic beauty. I've had the privilege of studying under some of the most respected names in the craft and currently serve as a featured instructor for Montblanc's global Inspire Writing program.
On a personal level, I work out of a home studio on our family hobby farm just outside Seattle, Washington. I am surrounded by natural beauty which I like to think finds its way into inspiring the calm, intentional work I do. Whether I'm preparing for a brand activation or guiding a student through a new penmanship style, every person I work with and every piece I create is treated with the same deep care and intention. To me, this craft has always been an act of love, and my greatest hope is that everyone I work with feels valued, seen, and truly cared for.
