LINING & FAIRGROUND ART

A traditional signwriter and fairground artist whose work is crafted and authentic: specialising in the fairground, circus, steam and heritage industries, all work is undertaken by hand, with no tape.

MY SERVICES

traditional signwriting

From initial hand-drawn sketch to a hand-painted finish, my extensive knowledge of letterforms throughout history underpins my work in this field. This attention to research is combined with an understanding of colour and composition to craft hand-painted signage.

lining

Undertaken by hand using no tape, I also have an extensive knowledge of lining schemes for steam and heritage vehicles and I bring this to the fore to undertake lining (often referred to as ‘pinstriping’) work. Authentic and meticulous in execution, lining offers a finishing touch to the restoration of historic vehicles.

fairground art

My skills also extend to fairground art and decorative work. Combining the traditions and craft of signwriting and lining with skills in scrollwork and décor has led me to undertake work on fairground rides and organs, living and gypsy wagons.

Amy Goodwin

about me

A traditional signwriter and fairground artist, my work is heavily influenced from growing up travelling steam fairs in the West Country: the elaborate and visual typography, flamboyant colours and meticulous lines are reflected in the work I create, both to commission and for exhibitions.

 

This upbringing has also instilled an awareness, respect and passion for the industries I specialise in. This not only informs my creative work but also enables me to deliver talks and workshops as well as informing my doctoral study.
