Choosing a house sign....
Popping into the studio in the Salt Cellar Workshops on Salt Cellar Hill TR13 9DP is the easiest way to sort a design out.
We can discuss ideas and I can make design on my laptop while you wait.
Online ordering is simple, fill in the House Sign Enquiry Form
as much as possible.
Drop me an email at nickdow@hotmail.co.uk.
I'm also on Facebook, WhatsApp (07717500630) and Instagram.
Posting is not a problem, I use Royal Mail and a variety of couriers, the slate is well wrapped and I've not had one break yet!!
Once the design is confirmed I print out a 1:1 scale template which i cut out by hand.
This is placed over the stone and I etch the design on through the template.
The design is then engraved by hand, no lasers or computer controlled cutters etc.
I then hand paint the words and or numbers using a gloss enamel, usually 3 coats.
The slate is regular in shape and can be light to dark grey in colour. This can be cut to a required size.
The dark slate comes in different sizes: -
21cm x 29cm (approx A4),
25cm x 50cm
30cm x 40cm.
Circles 30cm in Diameter
Hexagonals 30cm across
Hearts usually 25cm across.
I can of course cut to size and almost any shape.
The light slate generally is 20cm x whatever length is needed!
I also may have some other slate in stock.
My stock does change so its always worth asking if these sizes are not what you are looking for...….
