My life as a Micro-artist
Graham Short, the world’s number one micro-artist, and engraver to the Royal Family, gives the most astonishing
and entertaining 60-minute presentation ever seen – full of funny anecdotes of celebrities he has met and worked
with, including, Ronnie Barker, Uri Geller, Neil Armstrong, Simon Rattle, Princess Michael of Kent, Stephen Fry,
and many others.
He left school at 15, without any qualifications and started his first job – emptying mousetraps in a Birmingham
factory for £2 17s and sixpence a week. Within six years he had secured the most prestigious and enviable client
list imaginable which included Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral, Sandringham, The House of
Commons, Harrods, Chanel, Yves St Laurent, Fortnum & Mason – the list is endless
Six years ago, Graham was featured in television news programmes in 58 countries around the world when he
released four £5 notes with Jane Austen engraved on them. They were spent in England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. Every national newspaper covered the story, along with BBC, ITV, Sky television, and dozens of
radio stations across Britain. “My Life as a Micro-artist” is currently the most in-demand presentation in the UK.
