Welcome to the colourful and creative world of Joby Carter, one of the world’s leading experts in signwriting, fancy lettering and fairground art.
Joby learned through a traditional apprenticeship which continued a four-generation signwriting line. There are no modern shortcuts in his workshop which means no computers for layouts and no masking tape for straight lines.
Through his signwriting courses, live videos and popular signwriting books, Joby has always been passionate about keeping the traditional skills of signwriting alive and has taught thousands of people to signwrite during his 18 years of teaching.
He is an active campaigner and spokesperson for traditional heritage craft skills and is keen to ensure they are passed on to future generations.
