Calligraphy Services

Masgrimes is a Portland calligraphy studio owned by David Grimes. I offer fine writing, calligraphy, and traditional engrossing services from the Pacific Northwest that are inspired by historical technique and an affinity for fine craftsmanship.

My work captures the magic of life’s milestones — be it a birth, baptism, graduation, wedding, retirement, or memorial. Allow me to transform your meaningful moment into a treasured keepsake.
