Since 2015, Amy has been an in-house signwriter for Giffords Circus, a magical 1930's village-green circus which tours England every summer. Over the past six seasons, Amy has undertaken traditional signwriting, lining & design work on their wagons, lorries, for set pieces and one-off commissions: working with both their branding and creatively.
Some of her favourites include: the 'Wigs, Make-Up & Sequins' lorry, debuting in the 'Xanadu' season (2019); a 'Candyfloss' wagon for the 'My Beautiful Circus' show (2018); lining out Nell's original 40ft showman wagon during the 'Any Port in a Storm' season (2017); a trio of Victorian pub mirrors, for 'The Painted Wagon' (2016); and a golden 'T' for Tweedy the Clown's costume, when he was shot out of a canon, in 'Moon Songs' (2015).
Recent signwriting completed for Giffords Circus includes lorries and bunk wagons for their 2020 season, 'The Hooley': handpainting 'The Bath House' in script and 'Lights and Sounds' in their statement block typeface. Amy has also recently designed and handpainted the book cover for the 'Giffords Circus Cookbook', commissioned by the publishers, Quadrille Press, to do so.
