CPD by - Steve Roche

                                      

Steve Roche is a Letter Carver and Stonemason specialising in handmade inscriptions and traditional masonry techniques. With work ranging from formal hand-cut memorials to restoration of old buildings to public art projects.

Over the last few years Steve has been commissioned to do a number of public art projects: - a 12-ton Yorkstone boulder with a stags head pattern motif. - turning local Mosborough residents thumbprints into geometric labyrinths cut in stone. - a fossil-limestone boulder with a sycamore seed carved in the top and a poem spiralling round the stone in the motion of the seed. You can have a look at his site here www.rochestone.co.uk

 

Steve will be talking about:

-  His previous work with housebuilders, architects and community groups, concepting public art projects to best benefit the stakeholders and fulfil the planning conditions.

-  Stone selection and using traditional techniques in contemporary ways.

-  Inscription design, from dip-pen and ink to mallet and chisel on stone.

​

There will be a limited selection of drinks free of charge at the CPD following which we will continue the social event at the University Arms.
