Phil and Andy will walk you through tips and tricks for painting perfect canal roses, laying out designs and signwriting the name of your boat/ house/ dog or any other word you choose, in traditional style. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned painter, this event is a genuine masterclass for the heritage arts of the canal, led by friendly and expert practitioners.
