Young Carvers Symposium - online platform everyone welcome to join

The Lettering Arts Trust are delighted to host a symposium for young letter carvers

This daylong event provides valuable insight into the soft skills required for a successful career in letter carving. It is open to everyone from those considering taking up a dummy and chisel, current college students to those who have recently qualified.

We have gathered an impressive range of speakers who will share their experiences in 11 sessions. From developing longstanding client relationships; partnerships with architects and conservation organisations; how to maximise creative/gallery opportunities; installation anecdotes to understanding how a quarry operates or specialist tools are made – participants will take away a sense of this specialist craft’s business dynamics. Speakers include Gary Breeze, Robbie Schneider, Martin Cook, Charlotte Howarth, Mark Noad, Louise Tiplady and former LAT apprentice Tom Sargeant. Haysom Purbeck Stone, toolmakers RH&G Travis and representatives from BRE and the National Trust offer their perspectives.

This is your chance to learn from those who mastered this precious heritage craft and turned their passion into a fulfilling career.

Run as a zoom meeting, places are limited – please book early. A link will be sent to you 24 hours before the event.

This event is supported by the Heritage Culture Fund

The day will begin at 10.30am, Zoom doors open at 10.15am. The meeting will finish at approximately 5.00pm. There will be a 45 minute recess for lunch and a couple of short coffee breaks.

For more information please contact Karoline Newman or ring 01728 688 393
