Stone Carving and Letter Cutting
Hi everyone, I am having some ceilings put into my workshop-where the stairs and kilns used to be, therefore I am closing from the 24th Nov-28th Nov, it’s also the week of my 40th birthday so it works for me!!
I will be back in my workshop on the 29th. Sorry for any disappointment
I started making jewellery about 5 yrs ago but using bought stones and silver plated wire, I tinkered with silver wire and finally 2yrs ago taught myself to silver solder, in that time I have been tumbling more and I have become more creative finally making earrings and using only stones that I make. This latest selection is the culmination of several months preparing and designing. Obviously having a larger workshop has helped enormously as I have several work areas set up depending on what I need to do next.
The pendants are hung on leather thongs with silver plated findings but if you want I can make them with sterling silver findings but this will alter the cost.
I can make earrings with clip on fixings if you don’t have your earring pierced -these are tried and tested by a customer so I am happy that they are suitable for the task.
Well I have been busy working on many different types of stone carving from the smallest carved initial to a portrait of a loved pet.
I have plenty of house names and numbers that I am working on as well as new carvings, pendants and earrings which are available for sale in my shop. (photos to follow)
I know that it is still only early Autumn but as you may be aware I design, hand carve and hand finish everything that I sell and as such I have to start working on my Christmas range now.
If you wish to commission something for yourself or a loved one specifically for Christmas please place your order as soon as possible to ensure that I can make them in time.
If you wish to place a non-seasonal commission I am booking in for January now.
Thank you,
Hope to see you soon.
I have been invited back to St Swithin’s Church in Worcester to demonstrate my craft.
The Churches Conservation Trust are opening up this Palladian style Church to the public with displays and demonstrations about the kind of work they do and about the history of this beautiful Church.
I will be bringing some stone with me for you to try your hand at stone carving, you can ask me questions or just watch as I demonstrate the basics of stonemasonry.
Open from 12pm-4pm.
