Thank you for your interest in the Banff School of Sign Arts weekend workshops. We have been producing high quality custom signs for over 19 years so our courses are geared specifically to the custom sign industry but are set up for the professional and non-professional alike. All aspects of custom sign production will be covered from wood types to laminating to carving, coating and gilding. We also spend considerable time on the business aspect of the sign industry. Our course will teach you how to organize your shop, price custom signs and how to make a profit on each sign.

  All our classes are limited to 10 students allowing for a more personal learning environment. The hours are long and the course is intense but we strive to keep a Letterhead atmosphere of discussion, sharing and patience.

  We will be running two courses a year, one in May and one in October. The cost of the course is $750. with a $250. deposit required with your registration; the balance is due upon start of the course. International students should note that all fees are in Canadian Dollars. Your deposit is non-refundable within 30 days of your course date. There must be 3 students registered for the course to proceed.

Class times are: Friday 5:00pm-8:30pm, Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm, and Sunday 8:00am-4:30pm. Lunch will be provided both days.

  We will supply all tools and material for the course but feel free to bring your own chisels. Many of the course segments are 'hands on' and we encourage each student to get involved, take notes and ask questions.

  Thanks again for your interest and we hope to see you soon.
