Matthew Thompson |
|
| |
Matthew Thompson first started carving stone at the age of 16 when
he took a year out of school to do work experience with his father,
Ken Thompson. When he finished school he trained in his fathers work
shop for three years and also worked on the occasional commission of
his own.
For the following three years Matthew spent six months of the year
living and working near the marble quarries in Carrara, Italy. Many
of the works in this exhibition were carved during this time and
display the large variety of marble available in Italy.
In the last year Matthew has set up his own small workshop near
Carrigtwohill where he works on his own carvings and also from
commission.
