The Artists

Hannah McAndrew is an internationally renowned slipware potter from Dumfries and Galloway.

Perhaps one of her best known pieces is the ‘ ThisisEngland’charger, made in response to the racist abuse received by English footballers of colour. This charger is now held in the permanent collection of the Centre of Ceramic Art in York. More of Hannah’s work can be seen here.

Andrew Grundon is a specialist in the rare art of hand painting, lettering and carving pictorial signs. He has established a respected international reputation at the forefront of the revival of such traditional crafted work, in particular, his highly accomplished, pictorial pub signs.

In 1998, he was awarded the sign making contract for St. Austell Brewery for their heritage buildings and still produces all the pictorials. Each sign is bespoke, and draws on his lifelong experience of painting a wide diversity of subjects. The pictorial swinging sign, is an iconic emblem of the British public house, and promoting the continuation of that tradition is a personal mission for Andrew.

Andrew has created signs for customers across the world. Along with St. Austell Brewery, his clients include Liberty of London, The Tower of London, Pullman, for which Andrew created the crest , Television chef Rick Stein, BT Sport - Premier League Promotion, ITV Creative and Ogilvy One.
