A Day for Beginner Signwriters
This one-day meet is for people who’ve already taken one of Joby’s signwriting courses (in person or online), have painted a few signs, and still consider themselves as a beginner. If you’d like to spend a day painting, talking & learning with others who feel the same, this event is for you. This is not a structured day of teaching, if teaching is what you are looking for please check out Jobys five day intensive signwriting course for beginners
How the Day Works
We’ll start the day by drawing names from a hat. You’ll be given another participant’s name and a prepared panel to paint for them. You’ll choose between :
- A short word (around 4 letters), or
- A longer word (up to 10 letters)
This allows everyone to work at a level that feels comfortable.
At the end of the day, panels are exchanged so everyone goes home with a handpainted sign made especially for them.
