About Me

Former science teacher · Calligrapher in Chief · Paper person

Hi, I'm Tasha and yes, there are two n's in penn•manship. That's my family name., Pennington. I've been proud of it my whole life and I wasn't going to leave it out of the thing I love most.

I spent years teaching science before I picked up a calligraphy pen and realized that slowing down to make something beautiful by hand was its own kind of lesson. Now I run penn•manship out of the DMV offering on-site calligraphy for events, wedding stationery, classes for beginners, and a monthly snail mail club that reminds people how good it feels to send and receive a real letter.

A portion of every purchase goes back to fund local science classrooms. Pretty handwriting and purpose can coexist.

Whether you’re writing to a friend, oddly a stranger, or yourself, this is your space to reconnect in a way that feels meaningful and lasting.

No pressure. No perfection. Just pen, paper, and a reason to reach out.

some things are too meaningful to text.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“Utilized penn • manship’s services for a VIP client and the service was phenomenal. The gift tags were beautifully designed, exactly how we requested. Added just the right personal touch. Shipping was also right on tine. I’d recommend to future buyers.”

Brittany W., CHicago Bulls employee

“I received so many phone calls from my wedding guests complimenting their addressed envelopes. Everyone kept saying “is this really someone’s handwriting?!” Their praises alone let me know, it was money well spent. ”
