Roxanne suggested going to this Sign Painting exhibition in Shoreditch with her. It's not normally something I take much interest in, but I was excited to see something new anyway.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, the exhibition itself had finished. The space that was originally gallery space had been turned into a bar / cafe, making it awkward to look at the work. Nevertheless, it was still really great to see, especially in person. Being able to see the brushstrokes used, and the vivid choices of colour really inspired me.
Being from a Fine Art background, I really do miss getting my hands dirty. When I have the tim after graduation, I think it would be great to give sign painting a go. My knowledge of typefaces should give me a slight head start, but I think it would be a fun skill set to have, and also something unique nowadays!
