I originally studied letter carving at City and Guilds Art School and then worked as an apprentice to Martin Cook for two years. I went on to work as an assistant to Richard Kindersley for five years before setting up my own letter carving workshop in 2007. I have completed many memorial and architectural commissions and have also carved inscriptions of my own.In my lecture, I will show examples of the varied letter carving commissions I have had, focussing on the exciting and often unexpected challenges each job throws up, from a practical as well as a design viewpoint.
