Amazing advice here from the talented @joby.carter. Pop over to his website for an insight into the wonderful world of sign writing!

Joby Carter is well known and loved locally as the owner of award winning Carter's Steam Fair, and he has been fascinated by the artwork and history of lettering all his life.

Joby now runs hugely popular sign writing courses, in various lengths, both online and face to face. He teaches at the University of Reading and offers workshops on the craft. He also has a lovely collection of gifting items available, that celebrate the legacy, beauty and history of the Fun Fair, do check it out for some lovely, local Christmas gift ideas, from magnets and mugs, to books and jigsaw puzzles.

And, in Joby's own words - Amazon may sometimes be more convenient, but this Christmas, let's all try to get round to some local Christmas Markets, community fairs and Royal Borough town & village shops and support local businesses this season. Read our Top 10 reasons to shop local this Christmas here too.
