Welcome
Hi, I'm Yves Leterme, a professional calligrapher and lettering artist, based near the fair city of Bruges, Belgium.
"Letters act as practical and useful signs, but also as pure form and inner melody," Kandinsky once mused and I couldn't agree more.
Ironically, as the handwritten word threatens to disappear, we find ourselves all the more enraptured by graceful, expressive and skillful handwriting.
I've set myself to help preserve the revered tradition of artful lettering and illustrate its relevance, even in this digital age.
This may sound like a lofty goal, but it's actually quite a gratifying and relaxing thing to do.

In September 2023, I'll open a pop-up store in the centre of Bruges for the entire month, in which I'll show and sell original works as well as prints. I added a webpage for this particular event to this site, containing all the information and a few videos that will hopefully entice you to come and visit us.
If you like to receive regular updates on what I'm working on and/or see pictures of my recent (and not so recent) work, I welcome you to follow me on Instagram or Facebook. Apart from that, I occasionally send out a Newsletter, announcing my classes, performances and other projects. Please consider subscribing to it if you'd like to stay informed. |
