Last month we were asked to carry out some signwriting for the Red Lion gastro-pub in East Chisenbury, which has been having a rebranding.

So we are now in 2024 its time to get back onsite updating honours boards in gold leaf and black enamel.
On this particular site the font used is one that was created by one of the previous signwriters himself, this means the process is different from normal, so we have to take tracings of the letters we require from previuos years, and then transfer the letters into the correct position and trace the letter outline onto the board, the board is then either written using a clear varnish which is left to 75% dry then the gold leaf is applied, or with the black lettering we paint the board with black signwriters enamel.

This one has a lovely community spirit if last year was anything to go on.
Sorry we have been very quiet this year but.
During 2023 we have been following different avenues, and developing many more products for
everyone to love, enjoy and to buy that interesting gift.
Our ranges now include:
All the wood products we started with.
The painted pebbles everyone loves, they are a great stocking filler or teacher present.
Photo greeting cards.
Our latest lines include.
Christmas tree decorations.
Necklaces.
Earrings.
Keepsakes.
All of these are hand made from clay, all have very different finishes and textures from imprints of leaves to some made with peppercorns crushed up to give a mottled effect.
