Raquel Demorest

My name is Raquel, I am the face behind RDcalligraphy based in Kirkland, WA. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always really appreciated the elegance and beauty of nice penmanship. Many years later, my love of letters naturally pushed me towards calligraphy as a hobby, and now a full time job! I have been able to apply this talent not only to paper, but also to glass, metal, and leather through engraving, foiling and bottle painting. I look forward to creating something beautiful with you!
