My Journey into Sign Writing with the DYCP Grant

After years of running a successful lettering business in the wedding industry, I found myself drawn toward the world of traditional sign writing. In 2023, I was awarded the Arts Council’s DYCP grant, allowing me to refine my craft, learn from master sign writers, and bring hand-painted signage and murals to small high streets. This blog shares my journey—from self-taught lettering artist to professional sign painter—highlighting the training, projects, and passion that have shaped this new chapter. Join me as I explore the rich tradition of sign writing and its power to transform local businesses.
