The Workshop

Working in stone is generally a time consuming process and tight deadlines mean that one must be able to put together a team in order to realise the larger projects.

Over the years I have worked with numerous other carvers and so can now call on a number of experienced colleagues when the situation demands. As a sculptor and designer I prepare drawings and models in order that my vision of the project can be realised by a team without losing my own vision.

In the production phase of a large project, one relies on the skill and experience of trusted colleagues. However detailed the drawings or models I provide, each carver brings their own skill and experience to the project. This is a collaborative workshop process in which all members of the team both give and take. I thrive in this social and collaborative atmosphere, and am never happier than when working with a large group of like-minded individuals.

These are images of carvers (and the odd mason) whom I have worked with over the past 25 years, as well as a few predecessors from workshops of the past.
