NGS Sign WritING ARTISTS' PROFILES
The PERFECT Team For ENDEARING stunning style
Introduction
Signwriting is an art, a trade and a craft going back 2000 years. Having returned from the brink of extinction in the 80s,
NGS today encourages the young designers and artists across UK and the wider world, who are fast re-kindling interest in this fine artistic trade in ways that inspire the older generation of signmasters.
Old-school meets new-school and is the mission of NGS.
Plainly speaking, painting a letter is a beautiful thing to do. It makes our world more aesthetic, functional, safe and sociable. It helps the launching of boats, products, wellbeing and brand ID.
This manual based website intends to show the DNA of all the keystone principles of the craft, showing precise sharp lettering examples that have never previously illustrated in such detail.
It can be used as a directory and ordering catalogue, featuring the macro micro knowledge of brushstroke skills, vintage letter shapes and pure letter design.
Backed up with posts, images and pages we aim to enlighten a historical perspective and cornerstone modern day project applications.
The renowned present and past sign masters, Noel Weber, Edward Johnston, Richard Apps, the Calson Foundry and William Sharpington, frame this richly embossed site, leading Nick to the next germination of the craft.
Our daily breadth
Inspiring the new wave of lettering clients and fans, we are to be found across the city, Making London Beautiful: by Eye, by Hand and by Heart.
