Andrew Grundon – signwriter

Winner of the 2023 Heritage Crafts / Marsh Maker of the Year Award

The Heritage Crafts/Marsh Maker of the Year award was won by traditional sign painter Andrew Grundon.

Andrew is a specialist in the rare craft of hand painting, lettering, and carving of pictorial signs. He has established an international reputation at the forefront of the revival of traditional handcrafted work, particularly for his highly-accomplished pictorial pub signs. His clients include Liberty of London, the Tower of London, television chef Rick Stein, BT Sport and ITV. Last year Andrew worked with potter Hannah McAndrew on this Coronation Platter for which he redesigned each element of the Royal Coat of Arms, injecting a distinctive perspective into the familiar heraldic design.
