Letters have played a large part in my life, having started my working career as a compositor and reader.
Further study of letterform at Reigate Art school brought me into the realms of calligraphy, giving me a sound basis on which to gain a deeper understanding of form.
Later I studied for a degree in calligraphy at Roehampton Institute where my skills in calligraphy and drawn lettering were improved. In addition an historical appreciation of letterform development was gained here with teachers including Ewan Clayton, Gaynor Goffe and Tom Perkins. Ultimately I went on to study my craft with Richard Kindersley, whose father David, was apprenticed to Eric Gill.
