About Katrin
Katrin of Chic Sign Studio is a lettering artist specialising in hand-painted signs, calligraphy and glass gilding. Her original designs are meticulously crafted using traditional techniques & materials, including enamel paints and gold leaf, applied to almost any surface. She creates bespoke sign commissions for businesses and private clients and personalises everything from toolboxes and furniture to champagne bottles, perfumes & luxury packaging. In fact, anything that stays still long enough!
“Inspired by the beauty and wisdom of elephants, my design celebrates the heritage craft of traditional signwriting, using hand-painted lettering in Roman, script, casual and ornate Victorian styles with banners, decorative scrolls and gold. Painted in a vintage-inspired palette of cream, burgundy, teal, green and gold, the words and vibrant decorations express strength, grace, calm and dignity – qualities that reflect both the elephants spirit and the compassion of Thames Hospice.”
