Will Spankie has been making stone sculpture and letter cutting for over 20 years near Ditchling, Sussex. He makes sculpture, seating, birdbaths and lettering for memorials to commission and for exhibitions. Spankie works predominantly in local Jurassic limestones which can withstand English winters, are lovely to carve and have their own innate beauty. His work is inspired by the forms, patterns and symmetries found in nature, capturing the ambiguity and ephemeral nature of life in the permanence of carved stone. He works collaboratively with people to help them realise their own projects and ideas, be they for public art commissions, or for garden designers and clients on a more domestic scale for gardens and interiors.
