ROMANTIC PAPER & FINE ART GOODS
Our heart is to create timeless, personalized keepsakes you will treasure for years to come.
At Shasta Bell Calligraphy, our heart is to create timeless, personalized keepsakes you will treasure for years to come. As the first impression your guests will have to your big day, your wedding paper goods should be a reflection of your story and new life together. We invite you to join us as we take our cues from romantic European architecture and the organic beauty of modern calligraphy to create bespoke fine art paper goods for your wedding day.
Since 2014, we have grown from a petite calligraphy outfit to a full-service custom invitation studio with the help of our awesome team. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, you can follow along with our studio happenings on instagram and as always, keep up with Ardis, our thoroughly fluffy, mischievous shop-cat.
Meet the Artist
Shasta Bell
I'm Shasta Bell. I began my journey into the world of calligraphy and handmade invitations while living in West Africa. Unable to take my trusty sewing machine with me, a pencil and sketchpad became the perfect creative outlet.
A year after our own wedding, I walked into a friend's house and saw our DIY calligraphed wedding invitation, neatly displayed on her entry table, too lovely, she said, to throw away. That moment changed it all. What better way to spend my days than
slow-crafting heirloom pieces in the middle of this
fast-paced digital world.

Ardis Bell
I'm Ardis Bell. I enjoy hair binders, tuna, shredding paper with my teeth, aggressive snuggles, and tuna.
I’m really into tuna right now.
My entrance into the art world began when my mother left out an open pot of black ink and I felt it was a good opportunity to express myself all over the house. I am now banned from all calligraphic endeavors.
