Through The Viewfinder

Hello, I'm Ellie. Letter carver & sculptor.

I began stone letter carving and sculpting in 2011 while living in Cambridge, England. I was extremely fortunate to find two inspiring and encouraging instructors – Esther Melamed for sculpture and Eric Marland for letter carving. I took my first letter carving course with Eric and Tom Perkins through The Lettering Arts Trust to learn the time honoured technique of letter carving. Thereafter I was lucky that Eric was generous with his time and knowledge over the years that have followed. Love of words, calligraphy and stone has been a thread throughout my life. Now I am lucky to combine the three.

Autem dicant cum ex, ei vis nibh solum simul, veritus fierent fastidii quo ea.
Cu solum scripta pro. Qui in clita everti
movet delectus.
