Loop - Reviving the Art of Sign Painting

Edinburgh College of Art graduate Rachel E Millar has established a successful career in traditional sign writing. Rachel’s hand-painted, bold, vibrant typography can be spotted across shop fronts and businesses across Glasgow, fusing traditions of the past with contemporary styles.

Mixing her distinctive colour palette by eye, Rachel initially worked under acclaimed sign painter Ciarán Glöbel and is helping to bring this traditional technique into the Instagram age.
