24"x18" A 1912 postcard scene from Surrey, England, was our inspiration to celebrate the handpainted letter form. Municipal sign shops were once staffed with career signwriters and eager apprentices, and their unadorned works were hung throughout villages by the hundreds. The human hand brought warm personality to the most mundane of signs with nuances that can only be appreciated now that the golden age of the signwriter has passed. Original design.

Nutmegger Workshop is a maker of custom handcrafted sign art for interior display in homes and businesses. We are not a commercial sign fabricator.

We hope you notice something special about our work from the moment you see it. An absolute reverence for design, craftsmanship and history guides us as we design and produce every piece.

Much like distinctive architectural remnants, our period designs bring old-world charm to retail environments, restaurants and taverns, urban living spaces, vacation homes, and, of course, living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens — any place people gather to enjoy the pleasures of life.

Our clients include resort developers, architects, interior designers, creative firms, boutique shops, collectors and homeowners — and we’ve quickly earned a solid reputation for customer satisfaction.

Creative direction and deadlines have been my career for 30 years and the letterform has always been at the heart of my love for graphic design. I also am an avid woodworker who falls under the spell of anything antique. Needless to say, I can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing.
