Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Calligraphy Services


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a calligraphy professional, having insurance is crucial to protect you if a client is injured or their property is damaged while you are working. Our public liability insurance covers you against claims if, for example, someone trips over your equipment at a wedding or event you are letting at.

What is Calligraphy Insurance?

Calligraphy insurance protects professionals who provide artistic hand lettering services for events, signage, invitations, certificates and more. However, as a calligrapher you face risks like accidental ink spills on furniture/clothes, tipping display boards leading to injury, or mistakes on vital paperwork that could lead to substantial claims.

Our policies cover the liability of calligraphers for:

  • Injury or damage caused during lettering work
  • Errors or delays leading to financial loss
  • Loss of vital documents entrusted to your care

Comprehensive calligraphy insurance is essential for your creative livelihood, covering legal costs and compensation payouts.

FAQs

Calligraphy Insurance FAQs

As calligraphers transport ink, nibs and other equipment to client venues, accidents like spills can easily happen, risking damage to furniture, clothes and more. Without insurance, substantial compensation payouts could be needed. Insurance covers legal and compensation costs stemming from lettering accidents.

Some examples of calligraphy accidents we cover include:

  • Spilled ink permanently staining a wedding dress
  • Knocked display board striking and injuring an event guest
  • Errors on certificates needing reprinting at extra cost

Our public liability policies cover injury and damage related mishaps like these.

We would recommend our policies even if you only work from home. Accidents could still happen during small jobs that lead to claims, such as if ink spills on a client’s sofa. Insurance protects you, starting from under £54* annually.

We can arrange tailored insurance packages for:

  • Calligraphers
  • Hand lettering artists
  • Sign writers
  • Graphic designers
  • Photographers
  • Florists
