Feather Letting at Chicago Artisan Market

Heather Marshall of Feather Lettering transforms vintage paper with modern calligraphy, blending the old with the new to create truly one-of-a-kind art pieces, holiday decor, and gifts.

Shop and support Feather Lettering at the Chicago Artisan Market in Fulton Market on Sunday, October 17, 2021 at Morgan MFG (401 N. Morgan St., Chicago). Discover top Chicago & Midwest artisans in food, fashion, home goods + art.

Heather takes vintage paper (typically over fifty-years old!) found in maps, books, stamps, and more, and manipulates it to create a new piece. Embellished with calligraphy, all the lettering is hand done by Heather in her home studio. She uses a variety of inks and tools to create her entirely unique pieces perfect for the home or office, or as gifts.

Feather Lettering will debut homemade holiday ornaments that Heather will personalize on-site for customers while they shop.

Heather is a self-taught lettering artist and calligrapher, based in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Someone once called her a “letterist” and she liked that so much, she decided to keep it.
