Studio research // Placement Search

I think having a placement would be very beneficial for me during summer. I'm not sure about what exact path I'm interested in going down, I'm really interested in hand rendered graphics and painting is something I've done for years and want to do more. I have found some sign writers near Leeds and Newcastle that I have asked to find out if I can work with them. 

Phil Anderson - Stockton

Sign writer on shops, vehicles and very traditional style. 
I like his traditional way of working and got in touch with him. He has a year long apprentice already so it would be hard to fit in time for me, however he is working at Beamish Museum for a couple of months and said I was welcome to come up for a couple of days to have a go. 

Aurora Kustom Graphics - Newcastle

A much more modern kind of sign writer but is local to Newcastle. They do a lot of airbrushing, pin striping, shops etc. They have not replied to email yet. 

Harper Signs - Leeds

Harper Signs is in Leeds but have worked on a pub local to me which was interesting. They do paint jobs for a big variety of things, I have emailed but still waiting on a reply.
