[a lowercase i cut by Philip Surey] WADitems How did you get thisWhat a pleasure are hand cut letters. This one was cut by Philip Surey, a 1996 graduate of the City & Guilds of London Art School who later assisted Richard Kindersley and Ralph Beyer in their shops before going out on own as a sculptor and letter carver. (We keep an alphabet carved by Phil above our desk.) This piece was carved as a workshop sample and its a total beauty. A lovely thing that he signed by carving his last name on the back.
