Imogen Owen runs her letterpress and lettering studio of the same name in the UK. Starting with designing and printing letterpress stationery, Imogen then started to see the beautiful modern calligraphy that was becoming popular in the US. Desperate to be able to do this, she ordered all the available supplies and set about teaching herself. Imogen taught the first modern calligraphy workshops in the UK and her courses continue to sell out. Imogen has worked with a range of high-profile clients and her work has been featured in numerous publications and blogs.
