Traditional Signwriting
Traditional Signwriting with a brush and enamels to timber was a craft, a career choice many a would-be artist would take at an early age that offered a stable, yet fascinating and long-standing way to earn a living. It was a skill that had not changed much since early Victorian times or from the Saloon festooned streets of Wild West America, epitomised by the Hollywood movies we watched in our youth.
Today, despite all the innovation and technology, there is still a big demand for signwriting and sadly, there are not enough skilled exponents of the art to meet demand – particularly in London. Good sign-writers take years to refine their individual style.
Thankfully, here at Technical Signs, we have the capability and skilled craftsmen to meet your signwriting needs.
It could be ‘Olde-English’ lettering applied to a fascia board with drop-shade shadow, a traditional pub sign with a pictorial, a menu board, or gold leaf applied to a company crest, right up to painted letters on the side of a building. It could even be to paint advertising messages to structures such as bridges or railway arches – we have completed them all.
If your project or company wishes to convey the feeling of tradition; have a period artefact or unusual structure that needs signwriting, then we have a solution in paints that will suit – offering an alternative that no other sign-type can resolve.
