Creating a Masterpiece

We live in a fast-pace, throw away society where time is precious and detail often over looked. At London Stone Carving we follow a different ethos. We approach our craft with mindful consideration, and venerate the inclusion of ornament.

Whether carving a statue, engraving a headstone or producing a sculpture for an Artist; each project is handcarved using age old methods which largely remain unchanged from the techniques of artisans from antiquity.

From stone selection, through fabrication, to the final installation we are meticulous in the search of perfection .

The hands represent the strength and giving nature of the charity itself which then release and encourage the sparrow into flight (the "sparra" providing a metaphor for the children of the East end of London).
