Time waits for no one, and when theres a deadline of a business opening in the winter months, its sometimes a case of wrap up warm, gloves on.. and drink lots of warm coffee to get the job done.
This being just the case with the newly opened Bridle Lane Tavern, now called just 'The Bridle Lane' in the centre of Leicester. The old wooden signs were removed and replaced with the new Signwriting painted direct to the external render on both sides of the Pub.

One of the best things about my job is the unpredictability and variety of work i get asked to undertake and this restoration project at a local Church was just that, and an honour to be asked to do.
The original choir stall wording dates back to 1849, and over the years had faded to be barely visable in some places - The project was to restore the gilding and signwriting to its former glory, without altering any of the feel or uniqueness of the original hand done type style. Got me thinking while doing this on why it was 'The Great Pestilence' of 1849?, which as it turns out was Cholera outbreak ( yep.. google! ) so i presume that this Leicestershire Church escaped the worst of that outbreak and that was why it was originally painted to remember the fact and record it for future generations. Restoration jobs are always an honour to do especially when they have such importance as this one. All the signwriting and gilding was done by hand as it would have been originally.

Nice little challenge to reproduce a digital branded logo in paint onto an internal wall onsite. Nice job to do, and striking contrast with the gold, pink and black..

( see top left for example of 'good ol' english weather !! )
All hand written so can be in any style and colour desired really, contact me via the contact page if your interested!

This recently completed project is for a new Bridal Boutique in Leicestershire.. Winter Signwriting outside is always a bit of a challenge when its being hand painted, but with hot coffee and biscuits on tap, who could refuse! ( Thankyou @maisiedarling ! ) The lettering is signwritten in 1Shot gold enamels with a thin black shadow, and some accentuated detail lines underneath to finish the design off. Clean and classic style typeface used for the branding on this design.. works really nicely with the dark grey background and overall feel of the business. #leicestersignwriter #signwriter #alscott #letteringbyhand #signwriting #signs #leicestersigns #2020 #alscottsigns #alscottsignwriter#lutterworth #lutterworthsigns #alscottsignwriter #glenfieldsigns #glenfieldsignwriter #boutiqueshopsign #bridalsigns #maisiedarling Well actually, its a few signs.. and some pots! lol.

This project was just a joy to do! Using the traditional water gilding method onto reverse glass with loose 23.5ct gold leaf, this a process that cannot be rushed, and thats why i think its sadly become a process that is rarely used or even offered by today's modern sign trade. There is no modern substitute product that can replicate the finish or the depth that you get from using real gold!.. non tarnishing and never fading... its pure gold! :-) I've included a couple of 'in progress' shots, hope you find them of interest, all the work was hand painted, signwriting and gilding using traditional methods. #Gilding #reverseglassgilding #leicestergilder #leicestersignwriter #signwriter #alscott #letteringbyhand #signwriting #signs #leicestersigns #2019 #alscottsigns #alscottsignwriter #glassgildingsign #goldleaf #alscottsigns #alscottsignwriter #glenfieldsigns #glenfieldsignwriter #glasspainting #greatglensigns #greatglen #glasssize Internal Largescale Signwriting for successful leicestershire firm - Handpainted Mural Signage 2019.11/2/2019 Fairly large hand painted logo for local plastics firm, hand painted high up on an internal wall. Used traditional methods for this one, pounced and all painted by hand. No Masks or Tape! Sometimes jobs like this one are just better suited to do by hand, as using masks and tape can mark the surfaces or even pull off plaster ... looks a lot cleaner and the end result is a sharper and a lot more professional.

I'm always asked on a fairly regular basis.. do you do vans or vehicle signwriting?...
Well, the answer is 'yes'!, its a big part of my business, and one that i've been doing for a good many years now as well as the more Traditional Signwriting and Gilding i do. So, heres just a few examples of recent works, please contact me for a quote and availability. I offer a mobile 'on-site' fitting service, which can be done at your place of choice which means your vehicle is off the road for the least time possible. Always a joy to be commissioned by a client to do a traditional glass gilded signwritten sign. There is nothing quite like 23.5ct pure gold-leaf and the effect it gives on glass! really nothing comes close to it to be honest, the artificial products just don't give the same glow and effect. On this project I used quite a few different processes and finishes to achieve the end result, All the signwriting is direct to the reverse of the glass, with the various layers applied seperately. The Gold is yellow 23.5ct loose leaf. Done for Taurus Barbering, Leicester 2019. #Gilding #Leicestergilder #leicestersignwriter #signwriter #alscott #letteringbyhand #1shotpaint #1shotpaints #signwriting #signs #scriptbyhand #leicestersigns #2019 #alscottsigns #alscottsignwriter #pubsignwriter #reverseglassgilding #goldleaf #alscottsigns #alscottsignwriter #glassgilding #glenfieldsigns #tattoosigns #leicestertattoo #windowgilding #glasspainting #barbersigns #salonsign Part of the working process below, thought it maybe of interest to some :-) |
