What is sign writing?

Sign writing is a traditional technique of hand painting letters onto a shop front board or window. This skilled trade is becoming less seen on our high streets with the introduction of vinyl and printed signs. Traditional hand painted lettering on shop fronts is long lasting, beautifully designed and stands out against all those shop fronts which look the same.

The introduction of gold leaf into sign writing produces a stunning high-end finish. Gilding with gold leaf is available on shop windows, produced on the inside of the glass by reverse glass gilding. Gold leaf is also available on wooden shop front boards, incorporated with hand painted lettering.
