Tavern Signs Reimagined: Hand Lettering and Iconography with Mike of 'Mike’s Painted Signs'

Experience the visual charm of historic New England signage in this hands-on workshop led by the owner and lead artist of Mike’s Painted Signs. Inspired by classic Connecticut tavern signs, you’ll design and build your own sculptural sign using time-honored techniques.

Mike will guide you through each step—from construction to decorating with traditional iconography and hand-lettered text—using the historic *****-and-pounce method to transfer your design with precision.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll head home with a personalized sign full of character—perfect for your home, studio, office, man cave, or she shed!

Refreshments will be served, and the gallery will be open for your enjoyment. Cheers!
