A SIGN OF THE TIMES
A SIGN OF THE TIMES
Traditional signmaking is in our bones so we’ll happily take up our brushes to create authentic, hand painted signs. When it comes to paint, the capacity for expressionism is immense, injecting character into typography and imagery on any surface. Each stroke captures the human touch – immediately associating heritage, culture and colour with your brand.
Our expertise in craft techniques includes gold leafing, stone carving and wood carving, and we’ve spent years mastering typeface, signwriting and calligraphy. Whether you’re looking for an A board or a wall mural, we’ll blend our eye for design with quality workmanship and good old fashioned attention to detail.
FADED FLOURISHES
Handpainted sign with a faux fade
We hand painted white lettering onto this interior office wall, using a faux ageing technique to give the brick and our bold typeface an authentic washed out look
THE BISCUIT FACTORY
Paint pots and brushes
The simplicity of the hand painter's tool box: testimony to a timeless and skilful craft.
BRUSHING UP THE BARNYARD
Outdoor handpainted sign
We hand painted two huge logos on the exteriors of two prominent buildings at either end of Mill Yard - a boutique shopping quarters housed in a collective of converted outbuildings - giving it the artisan touch and making it visible for miles
NOPI
Projecting sign
The giant O will form part of an outdoor projecting sign. Its gold leaf covering will be more impervious to the wind and rain than many paints.
THE LORD CLYDE
Hand painted wall sign
If you have the space to express yourself, don't hesitate to shout that you're there! Hand painted directly onto an uneven outside wall, this is a great example of a large scale painted sign.
PIZZABUZZ
Restaurant mural
The colours of this bespoke mural are parts of the buzzing colours of the restaurant logo.
LONDON ZOO
Hand painted sign
The careful craftsmanship and intricate details of this wooden hand painted sign are enhanced by the bright colours that convey the exotic feel of the lions' enclosure.
BARNYARD DECOR
Handpainted shopfront sign
We gave this timber shop door a suitable face lift, hand painting the front with a traditional font and some pictorial signage, creating vintage vibes to attract visitors into the tearoom
Gilding Glass
Signmakers since 1985, it was only natural we chose a vintage sign using traditional artisanal techniques to add some kerbside appeal to our Shoreditch shop front. We filmed the full process of sign writing, hand painting and applying gold leaf to a fixed pane of glass, capturing the magic in motion and dishing out some handy tips for the most curious among you.
