Trev Clarke

I was first introduced to letter carving through Classical Roman letter forms. These forms resonate with me now as much as they did when I first encountered them.

My initial background is in documentary photography, working for newspapers and magazines. Returning to education I gained a BA (Hons) and MA in Fine Art, concentrating on sculpture. I have been carving letters and making sculpture since 2006, both producing my own work and working as an assistant to John Neilson, Gary Breeze and Peter Randall-Page amongst others. I am a visiting lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton, teaching bronze casting and stone carving. I have worked on numerous major public art projects throughout the UK including the V&A grand entrance donor recognition scheme, ‘The One and the Many’, London; ‘Timeline Serpentine Path’, Durlston Country Park; ‘Barry Poem’, Barry, South Wales. My current work includes memorials, plaques, sundials, signs and sculptural pieces, in slate, stone, granite, wood, bronze, steel and ceramic.
