Will Lynes

Will Lynes explores the historical and artistic relationship between glass and painted lettering, rooted in traditional signwriting techniques such as reverse glass painting and gilding, blending art and advertising.

A classically trained gilder, Lynes investigates the tension between precision and imperfection in his practice. By allowing materials to express their natural qualities, he moves beyond the constraints of traditional methods, exploring new approaches and unlocking the potential of his refined skills. Lynes’ work emphasises the sensory experience of materials and the dialogue between process, craftsmanship and artistic expression as he develops his unique creative voice.
