Holy Ghost Tattoo Rotherham – Gold Leaf Window Signwriting

Gold leaf window signwriting for Holy Ghost Tattoo on Rotherham High Street. The Georgian building with its landmark clock was a gem and a privilege to work on. The design is sketched before the black outlines are hand painted in reverse on the inside of the window, the lettering and filigree are gilded with 23ct gold leaf, white gold leaf, variegated copper leaf and mother of pearl details. A purple/violet blended shade is brushed in before backing up and pencil varnishing.

Three windows in total here. Two with the logo design and one with the moth graphic used by the studio. The studio was in the process of renovation when I was here so conditions for gilding weren’t ideal but the job got done and the building / studio when finished looked stunning.
