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.
