Thanks #BarbaraGalińska for allowing me to use your wonderful design in my last #lettercarving project #StopWar

And one more — from Eric Marland's workshop, the four-day course I took with him and Tom Perkins
(you’ll say — safety glasses! I know…)

#letters #lettercarving #workshop #stone

In memory of Eric Marland, the letter carver and a wonderful person whose celebration of life gathered some two hundred people last Sunday.
Eric, his work, and the alphabet he entrusted me to digitise.

A couple of rubbings I made at Eric Marland's workshop in Cambridge and keep on the wall — Tom Perkins and Josh (?)

One of my (many) favourite pieces by @poorfrankraw.co.uk
especially in light of current times. #whatfreshhellisthis #lettercutting #lettercarving

Standing stone from before Xmas

The letters are drawn with two pencils taped together.

Another that I have drawn the simple flower motif freehand to give an immediate flow and movement. I find it a nice way to work 😊👍

A line from Dylan Thomas's And Death Shall Have No Dominion. "Though they go mad, they shall be sane". The lettering was hand carved on limestone then a rubbing taken on paper.

Pi to 50 decimal places, arranged as a spiral

I'm still playing with spirals. I rewrote the PostScript code so it is more geometrically correct and predictable, and allows the text to tighten as it nears the centre, and I can adjust leading to taste. Please make me stop.

A hand carved letter V, under way, on black Welsh slate

I haven't carved any slate for a while and sometimes I forget what gorgeous material it is. This piece of hard Welsh slate from Berwyn quarry is a joy.

Cutting a poem into a sculpture

Me in front of the completed Dishforth Missing Man sculpture, carved in Sheffield

I designed the script/font used in this carving especially for the project by taking elements and angles the schematic of a WW2 bomber

Hi all, first post!

This is a project for Dishforth in north Yorks completed this year. Collaboration with the poet Olivia Mulligan and two local schools.
