About Me
On leaving school I did my foundation studies in Fine Art at Eastbourne College. This led to a three year degree course in sculpture at Sheffield Polytechnic. After graduating I chose to do an apprenticeship in architectural stone carving at Weymouth College in Dorset.
My first job was with Treasure & Sons of Ludlow where I worked on many historic churches, houses and monuments including: Compton Verney, Hill Court, Berrington Hall, Richards Castle Church & Hampton Court ( Herefordshire ).
Moving to Manchester, I began working as a freelance stonecarver with companies including Mather & Ellis, Stoneguard, Cameron Stonemasonry & Stone Central. Restoration projects include: Bury Parish Church, Bolton Clock Tower, Great Northern Railway Buildings (Manchester) & Bury War Memorial.
I now have my own workshop in south Manchester.
Over the years I have been asked to sculpt a number of unusual commissions, each one bespoke and each time working closely with clients to produce a unique piece. This is a common thread throughout my work.
