The second I discovered signwriting back in 2018, I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. With an Illustration degree as a base, I started building up the skill set required, and haven’t looked back since. I began with a course right by the canal side, followed by a stint at Giffords Circus, and eventually a short apprenticeship at Carters Steam Fair. It was here among the fairground rides and paint fumes that everything started to fall into place.

Since then I’ve worked on a range of projects, from boats to baubles and festivals to fascias. I was also lucky enough to receive a scholarship from QEST, which led me down a new avenue, towards teapots! Inspired by the decorative jugs and buckets found on narrowboats, these are my own take on the tradition, and I hope you love them as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.
