Letter carving

I carve lettering on stone, by hand, using a hammer and chisel, the way the Romans used to do. Nothing much has changed since then - my chisels are tungsten tipped and my studio is warm and light, but the process is the same.

I carve mainly on limestone and slate. These photos are examples of the kind of thing I do. You can also find me on YouTube.

My good friend Frank Raw always has a few of my pieces to sell.
