The Fairground Painters with Amy Goodwin

Dr Amy Goodwin is a trustee of Dingles Fairground Museum, and in BLAG 04 she co-authored the regular 'Lettering Location' column with fellow trustee Aaron Stephens.

'Dingles Fairground Museum' by Aaron Stephens and Amy Goodwin was the 'Lettering Location' in BLAG 04.

As a small postscript to BLAG Meet: Inside Issue 04, Amy treated us to a more expansive look a the museum's collections, sharing the stories of individual items, the people that painted them, and, towards the end, a handful of original Fred Fowle sketches.

Here is the recording of her talk and, below this, links to further reading and resources. (I've also added the recording to the 16 others from contributors to BLAG 04.)
