Imagine transforming your garden, or even a space in your house, with a stone carving that is exquisite and unique: something that has been specially designed and carved for you. Maybe a contemplative word, or a relief carving set into a courtyard wall framed by creeping plants, or a sculptural fountain with the sound of water flowing over stone, or a still reflective waterbowl with the rough hewn exterior contrasting with a polished interior.

These objects make very special presents for significant events such as weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.

If you are wanting to commemorate the passing of a loved one in the traditional medium of stone you could commission a unique piece; maybe a fountain, a vase, a cross, a headstone or a plaque.

I have produced many memorials both for cemetries, with strict aesthetic rules, and for other personal situations.

If you are interested in restoring a special piece of damaged stonework (such as a fireplace, or the ornate moulding of a window cill or door) I can do this sympathetically having had many years of experience in this field.

Typically, after our initial meeting or briefing, I will produce a maquette or drawings and will follow that up until you are happy with the design.

Once a project is started, you can monitor progress by visiting my workshop or I can send you photographs as the work develops.
