Flourish Festival
of Letters and Art
Calgary, AB
Oct 22 - 25
2026
Ever look at your lettering and feel like it’s missing something?
Perfect strokes and polished script, but it still looks incomplete?
Without borders, your beautiful work just floats—like a gourmet meal on a paper plate. It feels unfinished.
And clients notice.
Even pros with years of experience can look amateur without proper framing.
The fix?
Royal Borders—a system based on centuries-old calligraphy techniques used by royal court scribes.
But simplified and modernized for today’s artist.
