About Kalo

Kalo is a western calligrapher based in Hong Kong. She is the founder of "Kalo Make Art" and has been promoting the art of handwriting, penmanship and calligraphy in Hong Kong and across the globe.

Seeing a lack of creative hubs in Hong Kong, Kalo opened her calligraphy studio in 2015, with the aim to establish a relaxing environment for the community to learn and enjoy the art of calligraphy. The studio is located in Central, where regular calligraphy workshops and events are hosted. Over the years, Kalo has taught over 6,000 students for both children and adults, including her teaching at IAMPETH and New York Society of Scribes.

Kalo developed an interest in medieval illuminated manuscripts while studying European art history. In 2023, Kalo studied original works under the guidance of Master Penman Harvest Crittenden and Yves Letterme during the Illumination Saga in Michigan. In 2024, Kalo was commissioned to create a Medieval Illuminated Manuscript for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, which is now housed in the Royal Family’s residence. Most recently, in 2025, Kalo designed the President’s Certificate as a gift for the president of IAMPETH — Kalo’s largest artistic commission to date.

Besides education, Kalo also provides writing services for corporate and brands - from event stationery, on-site live demos to team building class to help promote  branding. Kalo has been featured on Sassy HK, Hong Kong Tatler, Elle Magazine, South China Morning Post, Timeout.
