Signwriting
Learn traditional hand-lettering for signwriting.
Learn the basics of signwriting: from brush-handling skills to illustrative work and gold-leaf or glass gilding.
This introductory course covers various brushes, paints, mahlsticks, pounce patterns and tracings, chalks, tapes, letterform layout & hand-drawing of Sans Serif, Roman & Casual Scripts. If you've been before then the tutor can help you move on to a different technique.
Fantastic guidance & advice, a great mix of hands-on teaching along with letting us go ahead on our own. Well paced and great patter!
Really enjoyable two days in the company of an expert! I learnt a lot, Brian was a great teacher.
