Welcome to the new St. Luke's
Newsletter. We will be publishing on a monthly basis, introducing you
to recently completed projects as well as those currently in
progress, and other news from us and related subjects.
After working in the heritage sector
and top architects and designers for 30 years we are
starting to sell fire surrounds in
outlets through out the UK, Continental Europe and North American
bringing our unique high quality bespoke service to all, with
a possible move in to Asia 2015.
In the UK we have aimed for roughly one
outlet per county and are presently developing new ranges for 75% of
our target; whilst having secured one in Eastern United States,
Canada and nearer to home Paris and Vienna. As a small company of
highly skilled craftspeople we will only be placing our products with
a select number of outlets and have no wish to expand any further in
the future.
Stephen has now returned from working
on an in situ carving project near Milan and after a short break is
back carving. We are currently working on a range of fire surrounds
in Portland stone, Cotswold & Bath stone, Carrara & Nero
Marquina marble, Welsh slate and a special bespoke piece using two
very rare British stones, Athelstan limestone and Oxford Coral
marble, I believe we are the only company to have any stocks of these
two stones as the quarries were closed many years ago due to
development.
As is usually for this time of year we
are also producing finials, classical and contemporary urns and an
Italian style fountain. We are also in the the early design stages of
a 2 metre tall coat of arms in Portland stone for a new building in
South Wales.
Last but not least we are looking
forward to welcoming our new apprentice in the next few weeks and
hope he finds the craft as interesting, demanding and rewarding as we
all do.
