Designing and providing
quality stone-work and tuition. 

Stone carving courses, bespoke memorials & inscriptions, near Salisbury, Wiltshire

We provide excellent stonework of all kinds, specialising in the design and production of memorials and inscriptions, and in the teaching of stone-carving.


We have the skills to create and install distinctive stonework and sculpture, suitable for both internal and external spaces. All commissions are hand carved, the only restriction on what can be made is dictated by the material and the imagination.

Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, for over 20 years, our studio is located in Bowerchalke in the Chalke Valley. It is a light and spacious place in which to work on bespoke commissions and to teach.

Bespoke memorials and inscriptions in stone


We work with bereaved families and institutions to make a fitting memorial for their loved ones, creating a design representing and celebrating their life. Uniquely people can be involved in both the design and the carving of the memorial itself. Memorials range from small plaques to headstones and sculptural pieces.  

Stone Carving courses and tuition


We offer term time and weekend classes for all abilities. Complete beginners will be guided through the whole process. For those with some experience, the emphasis will be on improving technique. We have students of every age and ability from Wiltshire and Hampshire attending our weekly courses, making classes exciting and diverse.

We had a fantastic day as a family celebrating a milestone birthday. Henry is a very accomplished teacher and we each came away with a beautiful carving, lasting memories and full stomachs (the homemade lunch and cake were wonderful).

I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely family day we had on your stone carving course.

We all enjoyed our day and the lovely food.

For me it was one of the few times that I have been able to concentrate on one thing without interruption. It was completely engrossing and as a result so relaxing.

Thank you.
