Dan is a classically trained stone carver, letter carver, draftsman and sculptor. After studying sculpture at The Heatherley School of Fine Art he gained a First Class Honours degree in Historic Stone Carving from the City & Guilds of London Art School.
Dan’s 2023 QEST Scholarship will fund his third year on The Florence Academy of Art Sculpture Programme in Italy, and advance his education as a figurative sculptor. His training emphasises observation, structural knowledge, visual judgement and accuracy, and on his return to the UK on graduation, Dan plans to preserve and promote these traditional sculpting techniques, creating works that translate nature, rather than merely copying it.
