Hello! My name is Cheyenne Tucker and I am the professional calligraphy artist and hand engraver behind Simply Lettered Studio. As we step into this new season together, I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and share the journey that has brought me to where I am today as Utah's premier calligraphy instructor and luxury event artist. Whether you're searching for calligraphy classes near me, custom wedding calligraphy, or hand engraving services, I'm so grateful you're here.
From Elementary Teacher to Professional Calligraphy Artist & Cursive Instructor
My story begins in the Utah classroom, where I was a full time elementary educator and kindergarten teacher. Teaching handwriting and helping children learn to write was more than just a job for me—it was a passion. I loved watching young minds discover the magic of cursive letters and proper penmanship, helping tiny hands learn to form their first written expressions through traditional handwriting instruction.
When my first son was born, I made the decision to leave my full-time teaching career to become a stay-at-home mom and homeschool parent. Because I was so used to being busy all the time, just a few short months into staying home I started taking calligraphy commissions and wedding calligraphy projects. What began as a creative outlet during naptime has blossomed into Utah's leading calligraphy and engraving business.
I have always had an obsession with beautiful fonts, vintage handwriting, and traditional penmanship. Even before I knew proper calligraphy techniques, I found myself creating different scripts with my pencil, drawn to the beauty of well-formed letters and classic American cursive.
Professional Calligraphy Training & IAMPETH Master Penman Education
I have been doing professional calligraphy since 2016, specializing in pointed pen calligraphy, Spencerian script, and traditional cursive instruction. My journey began with modern brush lettering, but it didn't take long for me to discover where my true passion lay in traditional pointed pen calligraphy and vintage penmanship styles.
I'm not a casual lettering artist—I've invested deeply in learning from the world's finest calligraphy masters. I am a proud member of IAMPETH (International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting) and have learned from and studied the work of several master penmen (there are only a handful in the world!) and other esteemed traditional calligraphers. I have been an IAMPETH member since 2019, which represents the highest standard in classical penmanship education.
I am classically trained in master penmanship and also specialize in modern calligraphy styles. My specialties include copperplate calligraphy, Spencerian script, italic calligraphy, Engrosser's script, and contemporary brush lettering. The process of dipping the vintage steel nib in ink and creating beautiful flowing letterforms will always feel so classic, elegant and satisfying to me.
Hand Engraving Services & Custom Personalization Expert
As my calligraphy skills developed, I discovered another passion that has become integral to my luxury services. I offer professional hand engraving services and love the ability to add my lettering permanently to surfaces that traditional pen and ink can't reach. This expansion into custom hand engraving has opened up incredible possibilities for creating lasting keepsakes and personalized luxury gifts.
I provide custom engraving on glass, metal engraving, leather personalization, and fabric customization. Whether it's engraved perfume bottles, custom wine bottle engraving, personalized jewelry engraving, or luxury corporate gifts, I can transform everyday items into treasured family heirlooms and custom keepsakes.
Utah Mom, Homeschool Parent & Professional Artist
My life today is beautifully chaotic and perfectly balanced between motherhood and artistry. My number one "job" is being a stay-at-home mom and homeschool teacher to four adventurous boys. My calligraphy work and hand engraving happens after hours, often late into the evening when the house is finally quiet and I can lose myself in the meditative rhythm of pen on paper.
My husband and I have been married for 11 years and currently reside in Utah, enjoying the beautiful outdoors together with our four boys. We love family adventures throughout Utah's stunning landscape, from Park City to Salt Lake City, which serves as inspiration for my artistic work. Besides calligraphy and engraving, I love hiking, camping, and exploring Utah's national parks with my family.
Traditional calligraphy and cursive writing is a meditation and creative therapy for me. This art form has given me a way to maintain my artistic identity while being fully present as a homeschooling parent.
Calligraphy Classes, Cursive Instruction & Online Learning
I've used my elementary teaching background to develop comprehensive calligraphy classes for in-person students and online calligraphy courses. My educational expertise fuels my passion to create detailed tutorials, practice worksheets, and step-by-step calligraphy instruction for beginners through advanced students. I simply love teaching handwriting and helping others learn traditional penmanship skills.
My background in elementary education and homeschool curriculum development shines through in everything I create for our learning community. Whether it's designing calligraphy practice sheets, creating instructional video tutorials, or developing comprehensive cursive writing courses, I approach each project with the heart of a teacher who genuinely wants to see students master beautiful handwriting.
The Simply Lettered Business: Utah's Premier Calligraphy Services
What started as a creative outlet has grown into Utah's most comprehensive calligraphy and engraving business serving multiple communities:
Simply Lettered Studio provides luxury calligraphy services and custom hand engraving throughout Utah and Colorado. I offer custom wedding calligraphy, event calligraphy services, corporate engraving, luxury brand activations, and VIP personalization services. I travel throughout Utah (Salt Lake City, Park City, Provo, Ogden) and to Aspen, Vail, and Denver, Colorado, providing live event calligraphy and on-site engraving for luxury brands, influencer events, and special occasions.
Simply Lettered Shop is Utah's premier calligraphy supply store, where I've curated everything needed for calligraphy beginners through professional artists. From pointed pen calligraphy starter kits to professional-grade fountain pens, vintage steel nibs, calligraphy inks, and practice paper, every item has been chosen based on my years of professional experience and extensive testing.
The Simply Lettered Box (currently sold out but relaunching in spring!) has been our community's favorite monthly calligraphy subscription box. Each curated box includes mini lettering lessons, premium calligraphy supplies, hands-on DIY projects, and inspirational quotes. Subscribers love discovering new lettering tools, exclusive handmade watercolor paints, and vintage supplies, plus online workshops with lifetime access.
The Cursive Connection is my most meaningful project—a comprehensive traditional cursive curriculum designed to revive the lost art of American cursive handwriting. This 40-week homeschool handwriting curriculum includes everything needed to learn traditional cursive writing, from basic letter formation through advanced penmanship skills. This isn't just about teaching cursive letters; it's about connecting students to American history, improving fine motor skills, enhancing cognitive development, and preserving beautiful penmanship for future generations.
Utah Event Calligraphy & Luxury Brand Services
Through years of experience, I've specialized my focus to serve luxury brands and high-end events throughout Utah and Colorado. I provide on-site event calligraphy, live wedding calligraphy, corporate event personalization, and brand activation artistry that elevates any occasion through custom lettering and engraving.
My luxury event services include live calligraphy demonstrations, custom envelope addressing, on-site perfume bottle engraving, wine bottle personalization, jewelry engraving, and corporate gift customization. I help luxury brands, high-end boutiques, wedding planners, and corporate clients create unforgettable experiences through personalized keepsakes and custom engraving.
I regularly serve events in Salt Lake City, Park City, Midway, Provo, and throughout Utah, as well as luxury destinations like Aspen, Vail, Glenwood Springs, and Denver, Colorado.
Traditional Cursive Advocate & Handwriting Preservation
As a certified traditional cursive instructor and IAMPETH member, I'm passionate about preserving American penmanship traditions and teaching proper handwriting skills. In our digital age, cursive writing skills are disappearing, leaving many unable to read historical documents, family letters, or even their own signatures.
My cursive instruction focuses on traditional American penmanship methods, including Palmer Method cursive, Spencerian script fundamentals, and classical letter formation. I believe cursive writing improves cognitive development, enhances fine motor skills, supports dyslexia intervention, and provides a valuable life skill that connects us to our heritage.
Looking Forward: Preserving Beautiful Writing in Utah
As we move forward together, I'm excited to continue serving Utah's calligraphy community and luxury event market with the same passion and professional dedication that has built Simply Lettered Studio's reputation. Whether you're searching for wedding calligraphy services, cursive instruction for your homeschool, custom engraving for corporate gifts, or calligraphy classes to learn a new skill, I'm honored to be part of your handwriting journey.
Beautiful handwriting never loses its value, and in our increasingly digital world, there's something profound about the personal connection created through custom calligraphy and hand-lettered expressions. A handwritten wedding invitation vs. a digital evite. A custom engraved gift vs. a printed label. A handwritten recipe vs. a screenshot. The tangible beauty of professional calligraphy shows thoughtfulness, care, and the importance of taking extra time to create something truly meaningful.
Thank you for being part of Utah's Simply Lettered community. Thank you for valuing the art of beautiful writing, supporting local small business, and believing that handwritten words have the power to touch hearts and preserve memories for generations to come.
