Cardozo Kindersley Workshop

Founded in 1946 the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop applies the knowledge and traditions of a craft thousands of years old to bring beautiful things to life in the modern day. Situated in the famous university city of Cambridge, the Workshop is a team of seven experienced lettercutters creating outstanding lettering in stone, glass, metal, wood and on paper. Their work includes headstones, commemorative plaques, heraldic carving, sundials, sculpture, bookplates, typefaces and lettering cut straight into buildings. They cut with hammer and chisel and avoid using machines; designing, cutting, painting and gilding all entirely by hand creates a uniquely peaceful and meditative studio.
