    Mike Dempsey RDI is joined by Teucer Wilson, one of the UK’s leading stone carvers and letter cutters. After studying stonemasonry and carving at Weymouth College, Teucer completed a five-year apprenticeship with the distinguished stone cutter Richard Kindersley, cutting tens of thousands of letters and immersing himself in a tradition tracing back through David Kindersley. Since establishing his Norfolk workshop in 2000, he has created memorials, public artworks, sculptures, and commissions for hospitals, gardens, and civic spaces. His work combines the rigour of craft with a deep sensitivity to form, texture, and material, always mindful of how stone holds memory and meaning.
