In the AMAL magazine's I saw some nice photo's of glass panels made by Nigel Eyden.
I tried to look him up, but there is nothing to be found.
Just out of curiosoty, who is Nigel, where does he live and are there any more photo's to enjoy?

Thanks,
Erik

Erik,
Not that surprised that you can't find much on Nigel.
A very talented, very nice, but unassuming man.
When I was last in contact with him he had a sign firm called Signfx. You could do a search on that, he is/was based in the Burton-on-Trent area of the UK (if memory serves). I seem to remember he was a second generation signwriter. I first met him a Terry Colley's bash in 2000, he stood out there as one of the most gifted amongst us. It is nice to know he has been recognised!
Hope that helps
Keith
Regards,
Keith

Thanks Keith!

I will certainly look further. this Nigel made some very very nice work indeed.
He was allready recognised in the AMAL magazines. But seeing the quality of his work I want to see more of his stuff.

thanks again,
Erik

Erik.
I also know Nigel from years back. He makes some stunning glass work and is very creative with all sign work. Lost contact with him from the Letterhead movement here due to the meets diminishing. He used to run the sign business with his dad I think.
Not sure if he still makes glass work,would be great to get him on here and show his work.
