“Sharing the lettering love” since 1990...

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER:

Liz Roessler is a self-taught, professional calligrapher with over 35 years client experience. She has been obsessed with letters ever since she could hold a crayon in her hand and immersed herself in learning calligraphy as a young adult. In her 20’s, she began doing a wide variety of calligraphy work for events, menus, chalkboard signs, invitation design, certificates and custom lettering art commissions for clients.

Over the past 15 years, she has enjoyed “sharing the lettering love” by teaching 100’s of in-person and virtual classes to individuals, dozens of cool companies for their employees, to social groups, at museums (including the MFA and ICA), in classrooms (including Boston and Brookline Public Schools), and at colleges (including BU and Northeastern).

Liz has taught classes for dozens of companies including Microsoft, Pfizer, Zappos, HubSpot, Google, DraftKings, Motorola, EF Education, Wayfair, Toast Tab, Arnold Worldwide, Mullen Lowe, LovePop Cards, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children’s Hospital, The ‘Quin House and The Harvard Club.

She has appeared many times on-location for “live” calligraphy and hand-engraving glass bottles for national and local brands / clients including Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, J. Crew, Cartier, Lululemon, The Boston Celtics, Woodford Reserve/Jack Daniels, Fenway Sports Management, Diptyque, Crayola, Eataly, Kimpton Hotels, Neiman Marcus, Montblanc, Lafroaig, Credo Beauty, Encore Casino, Shinola, Bloomingdales, KILIAN Paris, Maker’s Mark, Nordstrom, Sugarfina, Narragansett Brewery, L’Oreal, Moncler, Basil Hayden, Jenni Kayne, Monica Vinader, Boston Harbor Distillery, Blick Art Materials, Macy’s, W Hotels, Coty Fragrances, Bully Boy Distillers, The ‘Quin House in Boston, and The Colony Club of NYC.

Her custom calligraphy project clients have included Tiffany & Company, Coca Cola, West Elm, Chanel, Sotheby’s, Neiman Marcus, Harvard University, MIT, Boston Magazine, Boston Calling, and many event planners, non-profits, small businesses & brands throughout the USA.
