About

The Chelsea Inkpot is the work of Helen Born, a self-taught calligrapher and watercolour artist. Helen works from her home in Chelsea, London where she lives with her husband and two children.

Following a career in accountancy and corporate communications, Helen has pursued her passion for design and in particular calligraphy. In this digital world, there is nothing more beautiful than handcrafted stationery to create something truly timeless and memorable.

"Helen's professionalism and astuteness are remarkable. She possesses an effortlessly chic aesthetic that pervades every aspect of her work. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Helen on an event in Venice, and the results were nothing short of extraordinary. The menus and place cards she crafted were not merely functional but transformed into topics of conversation that continued long after the night had ended. Her meticulous attention to detail elevated the entire occasion, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees. Without a doubt, I will be seeking Helen's expertise for future projects. Her artistry and dedication to her craft make her an invaluable asset to any event or occasion."
