Stonemasonry is one of only a few traditional, manual crafts which is still in use today. Most people would assume this is inaccessible for them, as they assume it is for specialized projects and very expensive.

This means they don’t look at the options out there and may miss out on opportunities for beautiful, customized ornaments or structures.

In reality there are lots of everyday items you can have restored or custom made at a fairly affordable rate.

Ville Kinos from VK Stone graduated from Building Crafts College in London and has amassed a wide knowledge within the stone industry producing high quality stonework, from garden ornaments and insignia to columns and headstones. You can even commission smaller indvidual gifts, and take your inspiration from existing work or work together to create your own.

Everything is made using hand tools only – no power tools – as seen in the chisel marks, providing that individual finish. This means every item is unique to you.
