NEWS Flop it On Signwriters & Letterheads Meet July 2010 A fun weekend of painting, workshops and laughter for sign painters and their families was organised by traineee signwriter Wizz Stearne in the beautiful Wey Valley in the Surrey/Hampshire border. I attended the Meet and below are some interesting pics I took on Sunday 25 July 2010. Firstly though you may be thinking Who are the Letterheads? Well, it all started about 30 years ago, when a small group of apprentices in Denver USA got together to learn more about the craft of making signs. Now an informal group of sign painters and crafts people world wide, the Letterheads organisation has grown larger than any of them could have imagined, but the simple spirit behind their original gatherings lives on and evolves. The keystone of that spirit is exchange of information, ideas and skills, Prior to the Letterheads, many craftsmen closely guarded their hard earned knowledge. Once, caught up in the movement, it becomes difficult not to want to share your knowledge, especially when even more experienced people are sharing theirs.                |
