Christmas Cards
Every year the studio designs a new Christmas card. The creation of a Christmas card allows the studio free rein in designing, without having to meet the requirements and stipulations of a client. This is an excellent chance to experiment with ideas and test different approaches to layout and lettering.

Stratford Analemmatic Dial
This large sundial (over 8m across) was conceived as a memorial to four members of the Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service. The inset caithness carvings allude to the various duties of the service from its historical inception. An analemmatic sundial has the person as the gnomon – their shadow casts the time.

Tonbridge School Clock: Brick Carving
This clock was carved in situ directly into the wall of the school tower and then stained with a red dye. There is something very attractive about the integration of carved clocks and other devices; they become part of the structure of the building and not a mere appendage or add-on.

Barclays Clock in Travertine
Carved directly into Travertine ashlar and filled white. This large clock face is both functional and highly decorative. Its position serves to soften the large expanse of polished marble while helping to create a composition with the two lift doors, which otherwise might feel like ugly intrusions into the wall surface.

Grafton Centre Clock
Carved and painted travertine for a Cambridge Shopping Centre. The lively colour scheme of this clock picks up on the natural pigmentation of the travertine, thereby harmonising with it while still retaining maximum visibility.
