I am an award-winning stone carver based in Oxford. I specialise in the following services:

Architectural Stone Carving and Conservation
Sculpture
Letter Cutting

My work is sharp, accurate, and carried out at a speed to challenge the very fastest in the profession. Since graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2000, I have practised my trade with rigour and discipline and have won some of the highest international accolades in the industry.

Besides stone carving itself, I have sound knowledge of all aspects of stone construction and care, with experience in banker work, conservation techniques, letter cutting, draughtsmanship and design, fixing, site management, consultancy, and teaching.

I have worked on stone buildings of every century from the eleventh to the twenty-first. In addition, it has been my good fortune to restore some of the most prestigious buildings of both the UK and France (where I lived for eight years). Past projects include:

I welcome visits (by appointment) to my workshop where many examples of my work are on display.

Here is a video showing the creation of two replacement grotesques which I made for the Houses of Parliament in 2019 (no sound):

Film, tv, talks, education, historical reenactments

I am a confident and experienced public speaker and enjoy opportunities to showcase my industry in front of the public. 

Please contact me if you would like me to organise a talk or demonstration, or if you would like me to appear as a talking head or as a 'skilled extra' in period costume for film or TV.
