What is traditional sign writing?
Traditional sign writing is a hand painted skill. An ancient skill using quality brushes and sign enamels developed especially for this type of work. Traditional signwriting skill and craftsmanship is using the hand painted technique.  Quality brushes are used to create quality signwriting. I use sable brushes from suppliers proven to provide consistent quality. A.S Handover signwriting materials is my main supplier. My swing signs are made by C.J. Ironcraft to customers individual requirements.   Where is this skill used?
Traditional sign writing is used across many types of buildings and for many types of clients. It has been used in conservation areas, heritage buildings and facias, in pubs, restaurants, hotels and by architectural designers. This may be where an architect needs a traditional hand painted sign, in keeping with the building and requiring the use of traditional signs and materials. Traditional signwritng has also been used for theatres and the TV and film industries.
