Thank you to everyone that supported our Open Day at our restoration workshops. It was a sell out success so we are thinking about planning a second one next year.

We enjoyed welcoming students and lecturers from the @UniofReading to Joby Carters workshop which is a treasure trove of typography and letterforms! Great to connect with a new generation and show them traditional signwriting skills

Lovely post by @exitthelemming about @CartersFair. They’re looking for a way to save it for future generations, including apprenticeship plans. Hoping there’s a #heritage funder or three who might be interested in making this possible. #FundraisingTwitter

What a wonderful time we had at #CartersSteamFair. It’s the world’s largest travelling vintage funfair; you might recognise it from PADDINGTON 2.
Our joy was tinged with sadness though; this was their last ever night of touring
