Gabriel Hummerstone
Monumental Stonemason
I started learning to carve on a remote new-build pilgrimage church in Northumberland. Ever since my journey Faith and Craft have gone hand in hand. Now I am a carver of letters in slate, making headstones. I was inspired by my growing up in a household full of books and aware of the importance of Eric Gill's work and later that of John Baskerville, the C18th type-founder. But ultimately I was inspired by C18th Gravestones of my native North Devon with their vernacular charm-a fresh, unselfconscious elegance. What I love most about lettering is the way that a fleeting movement of a hand can leave a message for future generations and all the spontaneity of that movement is captured.
