Do I need to provide my own items for engraving?

Yes, you need to provide your own items. The price includes only the engraving service.

How do I get my item(s) to The Brooklyn Scribe?

There are several ways to get me your items. For fragrances, you can directly ship it to my studio after you check out from an online retailer. If you are based in NYC, you can drop off your items at my local coffee shop in Brooklyn or send me the items via Uber Connect.

For spirits and wines, you can use a delivery service such as Drizzly or Minibar to send the bottle to my studio. You have the option to also drop it off to me as well if you have purchased the bottle already. 

Calligraphy

What is the turnaround time for calligraphy commissions?

Love letter calligraphy is typically three to five business days. For wedding calligraphy services please allow three weeks for completion after receiving the stationary. It may take longer during the peak wedding season, June to September. So please plan accordingly.

Do you offer framing?

I currently do not offer custom framing for calligraphy commissions. But I do have a few art framing places I can recommend.

Do I need to provide my own paper for calligraphy?

For a hand-written love letter, the paper and envelope will be provided. For all other calligraphy, you must provide your own paper. Please send an additional 20% of stationary to allow for errors, additions or changes.

Please check with your stationery supplier to make sure the envelopes are suitable for calligraphy. Some envelopes have the tendency to cause the calligraphy ink to bleed.

Live Events

What do I need to provide for the event?

You would need to provide a table, chair and the items that need to be personalized.

Do you need to be near an electrical outlet?

I used battery powered engraving equipment so no need to be near an outlet. You can place me anywhere in the event.

Which items can you personalize?

When it comes to items that can be engraved, I am very flexible. I can personalize most items that are made from glass and metal. I have done fragrances, spirit bottles, lip sticks, cutlery, rechargeable battery packs, makeup pocket mirrors and e.t.c in the past.
