L&LC Brightwork

[Pluto]

Following the publication of my book on L&LC boat painting, I keep getting requests for someone to demonstrate the techniques. I wrote the book with Sam Yates who is probably the last person to have used the tradition when he worked at Whitebirk in the 1950s and 1960s. He doesn't like being interviewed or publicity, but I think he would be interested in giving instruction to someone who is already involved in traditional paintwork. If you are quick, there may be a chance to appear on television in Germany as one of the channels there will be filming the L&LC in summer. PM me if you are interested, but bear in mind that I am looking for someone who already has good painting skills and who will not need a lot of instruction. The idea is that they can then help preserve and spread the tradition.

 

Sorry for double post! Not sure how it happened.
