By Moon & Tide

Beautiful candles and calligraphy gifts for all the family, made especially for you at the edge of the tranquil English Lake District

By Moon & Tide is Claire Gould's little candle and calligraphy studio on the edge of the English Lake District. Claire spends her days cooking vegan friendly candles and designing beautiful calligraphy family trees and gifts for life's special occasions.

By Moon & Tide was launched in 2005 and has grown every year - Claire's written calligraphy family trees for the BBC, taught calligraphy for major event companies and has a piece of framed calligraphy in Kirstie Allsopp's bathroom (or so we've been told!).

With 2020 came the exciting adventure of a pivot into candle making. By Moon & Tide candles are hand poured, beautifully gift packaged and each come with a 'story' insert inspired by the beaches and mountains of the Lake District and Cumbria.

If you're ready for a brand new adventure you'll love learning 'the art of beautiful handwriting' - Claire's calligraphy sets have been developed for absolute beginners but still include the pens, nibs and inks Claire works with every day.
