‘When Better Letters Met…’ is a series of short films celebrating the lives and work of retired sign painters and lettering artists. In this, the fourth in the series, we profile Australian showcard and ticket writer Barbara Enright. The film will be followed by a live Q+A with Barbara.
Session delivered in partnership with Better Letters.
The dynamic duo, Carla Hackett and Barbara Enright, have a combined total experience of brush lettering of 60 years. Together, their mission is to bring the warm, unique, human element of brush lettering to the world and pass on the lost skills that Barbara used in her long and successful career as a Showcard and Ticketwriter.
As Barbara's protege, Carla is fascinated by the history of this skill, bringing it into the modern day for use across multiple design applications. Let's flourish!
