Matt Loughlin

Matt Loughlin is a traditionally trained letter-cutter and stone carver based in Somerset, England. Originally from New York, Matt worked as a graphic designer for over a decade before pursuing a career in craft. After several years as an apprentice to a master letter-cutter, Matt started his own practice The Memorial Workshop, where he undertakes international commissions for fine art sculpture and bespoke memorials. Recent clients include St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge and the Royal Literary Fund.

Matt’s goal as an artist & craftsperson is to bring an impactful, contemporary voice to the traditional craft of letter-cutting. He strives to explore big-question themes with humour and empathy through a combination of relief carving and original, hand-lettered inscriptions.
