These fantastic courses cover all the basics of traditional signwriting, from layout and design, to shading, lining and brushwork, and you have your own painted sign (and new-found skills) to take home with you at the end of the week.
The courses are held in Joby's paintshop at the Carters Steam Fair Yard, in White Waltham near Maidenhead. Click here to see a map, and here for the postal address.
All materials are provided for the duration of the course, except for gold leaf which is available at cost price if you would like to add it to your design. You have the opportunity to buy your own equipment at the end of the week.
The courses run from 9am till 5pm every day, and lunch and hot drinks are provided.
Please wear old clothes that you don't care about - you will get painty!
We regret that we can't provide accommodation at the Yard for you, but highly recommend the B&B at Innings Lane, White Waltham - tel. 01628 826789. There is also a Holiday Inn at Shoppinghangers Rd. Unfortunately we cannot provide space for caravans or mobile homes in the Yard; it's a busy working fairground yard and we are moving vehicles around a lot. We recommend visiting the Caravan Club to find local campsites.
The course costs £425 + VAT
