Tutors:
Annet Stirling and Brenda Berman taught lettering at the City and Guilds of London Art School. In 1988 they formed the partnership Incisive Letterwork.

They are well known for their numerous architectural inscriptions including the portico at the National Gallery and The National Portrait Gallery’s Ondaatje Wing inscriptions.

They have had two solo exhibitions showing their more experimental work and exhibit in all major lettering shows.

For many years there has been a continuous association with Haysom’s Quarries, who will be hosting the lettering course.
