I run a lettercarving studio on the edge of Cumbria, in the Yorkshire Dales. Here I carve commissions for inscriptions including memorials, garden features and house signs. I make pieces for exhibiting and lettering designs for interiors.
I also carry out public art projects, often working on site. My main interest is in exploring the illustrative and decorative aspects of lettering, and this has been the chief activity in my workshop for the past thirty years. Experiments with linoprinting for lettering projects have led more recently to forays into wallpaper and fabric design.
Lettercarving courses in 2026: I will be running a 3-day workshop at Broadrake Bunk Barn near Ingleton from Wednesday 22nd - Friday 24th July. Dates for the course in Hertford will be set soon. See courses page for more details. To book, email info@piphall.co.uk
