Today I'm hosting this event with Dr Amy Goodwin, sharing the stories, and the work, of the fairground painters. It is free and online, with more details at https://bl.ag/events.

The direct link to book a ticket (zoom account required) is here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GtNBNCBZQoG1OrV5AvnMWg#/registration

I hope you can join us and, if not, then I am fairly sure I'll be able to share a recording afterwards, at Amy's discretion.

Realised I should probably do these as a BLAG Meet-themed thread, so reposting link here about Dr Amy Goodwin's talk about the fairground painters: https://typo.social/@blag/111940125408455717

This will include new material from Fred Fowle that has been received by the Fairground Heritage Trust; which offers an excuse to share this wonderful BBC segment about him.

And there's even more here: https://bl.ag/our-business-is-fun-with-fred-fowle/

Attached: 1 image On 2 March, at BLAG Meet (https://bl.ag/meet), Dr Amy Goodwin shares her research into the fairground painters, past and present. This visual talk will include some of the works the Fairground Heritage Trust have in their collection — including, lettering which manipulates spatial depth and signs influenced by the cartoon industry — and discuss the impact the past has had on the fairground painters of today.
