Carving stone with chisels is a ancient craft. We use the same design of chisels today as they did in Greek and Roman times. Modern chisels are made of steel, tipped with tungsten, which keeps its sharp edge for much longer than a traditional 'fire sharp' tool.

It is a privelege to carve stone, appreciate where it is from and when it was formed, connecting viscerally with the material on which we create our imaginative ideas

Slate is 800 million years old, whilst limestone is the younger product of shallow seas which have been thrust up into mountains.
