Ian Ward is a master stonemason with decades of experience working across architectural, sculptural, and memorial contexts. His practice is rooted in traditional stonemasonry skills, informed by a deep understanding of historic building techniques, material behaviour, and site-specific conditions. Alongside large-scale public and infrastructure projects, Ward undertakes private commissions for smaller statuary and decorative carving, producing finely detailed, hand-carved works that demonstrate precision, sensitivity, and a deep respect for the material. Equally at ease working on monumental commissions and intimate private pieces, he brings a rigorous and thoughtful approach to each project. His work is characterised by durability, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place, honouring both the stone itself and the cultural histories it carries.
