Martin Cook
Martin cook comes from a family of carvers dating back to 1730. He works with his son Matthew and makes carved memorials, benches, sundials, standing stones and many other interesting pieces out of stone, wood and glass.
His workshop is at his Buckinghamshire farmhouse home where his studio has a friendly, creative and welcoming atmosphere. His most prestigious commission to date is the letter carving for the Great Court of The British Museum.
When Martin's studio makes a memorial, the aim is to celebrate the life of the individual concerned. The success of the piece depends on drawing out the client's ideas and turning them into reality. It is a process that many clients find therapeutic and worthwhile. The result is a unique memorial that could not be achieved by the now widely used mass production techniques of the memorial factories.
