Hand Painting the Wimbledon Court Rain Covers
We find ourselves in such strange times of recent with many projects, concerts, festivals etc being cancelled, one of which is of course the 134th Wimbledon Championship that many of us will be missing over this last couple of weeks especially the strawberries and cream !!
Of recent years a very talented signwriter and long standing customer of Wrights of Lymm was commissioned the amazing job of hand painting the Wimbledon court rain covers. The club was founded in 1868, just 28 years after Wrights of Lymm (est 1840) and has always followed the tradition of hand painted signs and logos and Carl Tickle with his amazing skills and patience in traditional signwriting took on the job of hand painting 16 rain covers with a six metre logo on each. Each court cover took around 14 hours to complete but what an honour it must have been for Carl to see his work go out for all the world to see.
Carl has many strings to his bow….signwriting, gilding, wall murals, pinstriping, airbrushing and much more.
