SCULPTOR, STONE CARVER AND LETTERCUTTER
GARY CHURCHMAN
 |
Enjoying the experience of 31 years working with stone, clay and drawing. Having carried out my 3 year indenture apprentiship in carving and lettering, I furthered my education studying for a (Honours) B.A in Fine Art Sculpture at the University of Northumberland, since graduating I have been working freelance. |
|
Practicing as a freelance Stonecarver and Letter Carver for the last 23 years, working upon many prestigious projects. Taking commissions or as a sub-contractor, the work can be site-specific, bespoke, replication or restoration either on-site or carved in the studio. Most of my work has been in and around London and the South.

Classical forms of flora and fauna particularly interest me, a lifelong passion for horticulture, architecture and design are a continuing influence and inspire my interpretations. Plant forms play a major roll in many historic forms of decoration, many features applied to buildings have their roots firmly in the evolution of these forms, of particular importance is the Acanthus and the Angelica both extensively used since classical times in many glorious interpretations.
Liberating three dimensional forms - carving shallow or deep relief, figurative, foliage or floral, sometimes patterns or elaborate designs, these variations along with creativity are the essence of my stone carving work. Civic, secular or ecclesiastic either working within the confines of the studio or on-site.
