Sign Artist

Periodically I'll post videos that inspire. I love people with passion!

David A Smith is a name that has become synonymous in Sign-Writing and Glass gilding circles, with high quality, hand crafted reverse glass signs and decorative silvered and gilded mirrors.

In this short documentary, we reveal behind the scenes work, techniques and visions that Dave uses when carrying out his passion as a glass embosser - One of the few remaining traditional UK glass artists.

One cup at a time

Here is a great article about one of my favorite shops, Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco (you can learn a little bit more about the company in this earlier post). Looks like my science background will come in handy. Our focus will be very similar to Blue Bottle's; making a great cup of coffee one cup at a time!
