Live Event Engraving That Makes a Luxe Impression (Literally)

On-site personalization for brand activations, private parties, and weddings that want more than just a pretty detail.

I’m Clarissa—the artist behind Inkwell Scripted—and I specialize in live event calligraphy that doubles as both personalization and performance. Whether I’m engraving wine bottles at a brand launch, adding foil monograms to leather luggage tags, or burning initials into wood boards at a VIP event, I create wow-worthy moments that guests line up for.

Based in Virginia and Pennsylvania, I travel to events in DC, Richmond, Pittsburgh, and beyond to bring luxury artistry right to your venue.

Luxe Personalization, Created Live at Your Event

I work with surfaces like glass, metal, leather, wood, and paper—so whether you’re envisioning engraved wine bottles, foiled wallets, or custom place settings, I’ve got you covered.

Not sure if your idea will work? Just ask. If I can safely write on it and it fits on my table, we can probably make it magic.

Let’s get creative—and give your guests something to talk about and take home.

Serving Virginia, DC, Pittsburgh + Wherever the Vibes Are Right

I live between Charlottesville and Richmond, VA, and have a second home base in central Pennsylvania—making DC and Pittsburgh both easy travel markets.

You’ll often find me working events across:

  • Richmond & Charlottesville

  • Washington, D.C. & Northern VA

  • Pittsburgh, Harrisburg & surrounding PA

  • And anywhere a courier, car, or train can reach

This Isn’t Just a Pretty Detail. It’s a Moment.

Live calligraphy doesn’t just look good—it feels good. It invites guests into the experience, sparks conversations, and makes your event unforgettable in the best way. It’s emotional. It's elevated. And it’s exactly the kind of luxury people love to post about.

Need help selling the concept to your client or planner? I got you. You can even send them this post that breaks it all down.
