Open Day

Discover the forgotten skills of hand painted lettering and fairground art at one of Joby Carter’s free workshop open days. Joby creates lettering designs by hand using traditional techniques which have been passed down through the generations: skills that can be traced back to Victorian times. He is one of the world’s leading experts in signwriting, fancy lettering and fairground art and is passionate about showcasing these skills to a wider audience through his books, courses and open days.

The open day is a chance to ask questions about signwriting and traditional decorative skills or to simply watch, enjoy and take photos of these traditional decorative skills in action.

All ages are welcome to attend – no need to be a signwriter or lettering artist.
