Memorial & Commemorative

Made to mark, made to last.

Memorial and commemorative pieces shaped around a person, a date, an event or a shared memory. Each piece is approached with care and a quiet sense of permanence.

A memorial piece carries weight beyond its material. The form, the inscription and the finish are all part of how it speaks — quietly, clearly, and for a long time.

Ian works closely with families, clubs, community groups and individuals to shape commemorative work in cold-cast bronze, etched slate, timber, or a considered combination of the three. Names, dates, Irish-language inscriptions, portraits and symbols are handled with care.

Pieces are made for homes, gardens, community spaces, clubhouses, churches and memorial walls. Each one is individual.
