Harfleur church, normandy
In 2009 for Quélin S.A. we restored some carved detail on the windows of a fifteenth-century church. I carved a skinny dog label-stop grotesque (to complement an existing one on the other side of the window), many filigree crockets on canopy gables, and a pierced vine-leaf surround in the arch of one of the windows. This last was very challenging as the vine-leaf motif needed to span a hollow moulding, and a profile to follow the curve of the window arch needed to be worked behind the suspended vine leaves and grapes. On each of the stones I could pass my arm completely behind the delicately carved flora.
