Hand Painted Wall Murals & Signwriting

Murals and signwriting

A wall is the biggest piece of paper you will ever be given. I paint hand lettered murals and traditional signwriting for homes, schools, cafes, salons and offices, working straight onto the surface in specialist paints so the finish belongs to the building rather than sitting on top of it.

Where hand painted lettering works

• Schools and nurseries with values, mottos and reading corners that children actually stop to read
• Cafes, bars and salons where a painted wall does the work of a hundred signs
• Offices and studios carrying a company line without a printed vinyl finish
• Homes with playroom lettering, quotes on a stairwell or a name above a door
• Shopfronts and windows in traditional signwriting, gilding or seasonal lettering

How a mural is planned

I visit or ask for photographs and measurements, then draw a scale layout so you can see exactly how the lettering will sit on the wall before a brush is lifted. Once the design is signed off, the wall is prepared, the layout is drawn out by hand and the lettering is painted in acrylics or specialist sign paint.

Most rooms take one to three days on site. I work around opening hours and term times where I can, and everything is left clean and finished at the end of each day.

Materials and longevity

Interior murals are painted in high quality acrylics and sealed where the wall takes knocks, such as corridors and play areas. Exterior signwriting uses weather resistant sign paints. Painted lettering lasts for years and can be touched up rather than replaced.
