Walk in through the front door of many properties grand or humble and the first thing one sees right infront of one is the staircase so why not treat it with the respect it deserves. Flat weave runners are all very well but.... [to be continued]

What with Portland stone be so local I feel I should go in the direction of sculpting. Although Portland limestone will be the main thing - to be restricted to one thing would not suit me at all so other materials and tecniques will be used most of the time.

My key inspiration I would say comes from Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore but as I look into the subject more I don't doubt there many others.
