Signs

If you would like to commission a hand carved sign for your house, workshop, garden (or anything else!) please have a read through the Commissioning Guide. Timescales are usually much quicker for smaller items, though the process is similar. Do get in touch if you have further questions.

Case study: sign commission

This project involved designing and carving these four large sandstone signs, two at either side of a local housing development. They are set into these fabulous curved sandstone walls designed and constructed by the multi-talented Grigg Brothers. Accompanying sculpture created by Jamieson and Gordon. Saint Clement is considered the patron saint of mariners, hence the inclusion of the anchors!

“Jackie has just completed a beautiful grave slab for me on a large oval of Caithness flagstone. Not only is she an excellent artist and letter carver, she has empathy and is endlessly painstaking and generous with her expertise. She wants to help you get it just right. Hopefully designing a partner’s grave stone is not something we do often in life. It is so important to feel enhanced and not diminished by the process. Jackie will guide you, engage fully with understanding your aims and produce a unique, stunning work of art. Jackie’s finished stone made me feel I had done the best I possibly could for the person I have lost.”

“I am really delighted with the beautiful stone and sign that Jackie created for me last year for my garden.  She was excellent at transcribing my rough designs on paper into reality and explained clearly what was possible to achieve in stone and wood.   She was very thorough in her work and prompt and reasonable in her pricing.  Transport of these heavy objects was arranged very well as their destination was a remote place in Scotland. “

“We were completely blown away by our wedding arch. The colours, the structural quality, not to mention the personalised intricacies (the thistle and rose for our national flowers; and lyrics from our first dance) made the arch perfect to marry under. Jackie even worked with our florist to give the arch that extra flare. Even without the flowers it’s beautiful. Now a permanent feature in our garden. Jackie, thank you.”
