Eddy Bennett – Reverse glass sign maker

Eddy Bennett is a reverse glass sign artist from Brighton who uses acid etching to create the distinctive patterns recognisable from Victorian-style advertising signs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was awarded the Endangered Crafts Fund in 2023 to purchase a plotter to cut vinyl etching stencils and provide custom stencils to other reverse glass sign artists in the region.

Sussex recipients were funded through the partnership between Heritage Crafts and Sussex Heritage Trust.
