Commission a Slate Carving

How to commission a piece? I will work with you to design a carving that you will cherish and love.

First step is to discuss your ideas and aspirations in the piece.
We discuss your ideas and a sketch is then made.
Second step is for you to approve a sketch and style of slate.
Third step is to patiently wait as your stone is carved by hand with your aspirations constantly in mind.

Once the sketch is approved and the stone picked by you, a deposit is made to hold your place in my carving que. Your carving should take anywhere from a month to two months depending on letters, complexity and size of stone. To discuss your sculptural or architectural carving needs, please email me or fill out the contact page.

Commission Options: Upload Your Child's Drawing

Do you want a memory to last a lifetime? I can take your child's drawing and carve it into slate for you. A perfect garden stone, as an everlasting reminder of your child's artistic curiosity as they grow up. All you have to do is email me a photo of your child's doodle, and I will transfer the photo to a stone of your choice and begin the process of memorializing your child's artistic talent. Contact me today, so that we can discuss your child's artwork and design aspirations.

Keeping your pets memory alive with a hand carved pet memorial stone, pet headstone, pet grave marker or pet tombstone is a great way to remember all the good times and memories that you shared with your pet. A garden in your yard could be a great place for the headstone or gravestone to memorialize the great times that you spent together. Pet markers can help you keep your pets memories alive forever.

That makes it very personal to me.
I take your vision and feelings, and convey it
