About John Schofield.

Since his first carving at the age of 9, John has had a long and distinguished career in carving, sculpture and memorial work, as both a creative artist and in restoration work. His impressive commissions portfolio includes work for members of the Royal family, the Royal Opera House, the Emir of Qatar, York Minster, Selby Abbey, Newby Hall, Castle Howard, Ribston Hall and Ledstone Hall as well as undertaking private memorials work.

Taught many carving techniques by an Italian master carver and always inspired by the art and statuary of the Tuscan cities, John prefers works which have some sort of functional form rather than the purely aesthetic form of nudes and other statuary,

Happy to share his talent and techniques, John also enjoys teaching courses in the specialist skills of lettering and carving marble and stone.

John is married to Lynn and has two children, Lisa and Tracey.  When he’s not carving and sculpting, John enjoys nothing better than spending time trout fishing, playing the piano and listening to jazz stride piano and classical music.
