Biography

I was trained by my father, the sculptor and lettercutter John Skelton. After completing a three year apprenticeship with him in 1976, I worked alongside him in his workshops at Streat, near Ditchling in the UK.

My current work consists of commissioned memorials, plaques for buildings and sundials for public and private spaces. I also enjoy carving poems on slate.

In October 1996 I completed the City and Guilds teaching certificate.

Courses are now held in John Skelton's studion in Streat, where I teach lettercutting. Stone sculpture is also taught there.
