Playing with walls

The art of ornamental plastering was once prevalent all over Great Britain, covering whole facades, streets and the panels of timber frame buildings with delightful figures and stories.

It has remained robust in Suffolk and East Anglia over the centuries and is happily spreading again all over the country.

Interior and exterior walls and the individual panels of timber frame houses make fine canvasses for fantastical figures or simple details which cast rich shadows on a sunny day.

It is a great pleasure to ply this very personal craft and create figures which fit with the spirit of a house and its family
