Better Letters is bringing its renowned sign painting workshops to Philadelphia this fall. Local sign painter Gibbs Connors will host Mike Meyer (USA) and David Kynaston (UK) with participants learning a variety of sign painting skills from two of the world's best-known and respected practitioners. (And having a lot of fun along the way!)
Mike Meyer is best known for his appearance in the feature film, Sign Painters. He has travelled the world and shared his skills for many years, but formalised this through his workshops in 2013. He has taken these to dozens of cities, across three continents, as well as hosting them at his own sign shop in Mazeppa, Minnesota. His Hand Lettering Workshop introduces the basics of layout and brush technique, while his Lettering Effects Workshop takes things to the next level with shadows, bevels, convex/concave lettering and more.
David Kynaston is a master craftsman hailing from North Wales in the UK. His passion for classical letter forms has resulted in a two-day workshop which has already been hosted in a number of European cities. This tour is the first opportunity for those in the USA to learn from David's vast knowledge and experience, building up skills in both Roman and Copperplate Script lettering.
