ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is Susan Houseman and I would like to welcome you to my website. I fell in love with calligraphy at a very young age. I was self taught until my early 20’s when I began studying with master calligraphers and master penman from around the world.
I have all types of clients, professional and private. My calligraphy has been published in national magazines and I have been in many gallery shows. I have developed an stamp line for Stampington & Company. In 2020 I added engraving to my portfolio, and that is when my Soul Stones
were developed.
It is important that I constantly educated myself on upcoming trends, working on new surface so I can share them with my clients.
It is my pleasure to offer on site engraving or calligraphy for events and brand activation. My joy comes from seeing my clients vision fulfilled. Whether it’s working on paper, chalkboards, fabric, or glass, I have the expertise to get the job done.

SOUL STONES
Exculsive Design / Keepsake
My love of calligraphy and a desire to have a tangible reminder of life’s priorities helped to bring these Soul Stones to life.
They are glass stones that are hand engraved with words that resonate with our heart and mind. The Soul Stones are hugs that you can give to yourself or to others. They also make great team building gifts. Soul Stones were also trademarked in 2020.
