Testimonial
'We have been delighted to work with Robert at Ingrained Culture in our work to improve Seaview Community Park, Gourdon. The park is a community space to be enjoyed by all generations and Robert's input has enabled us to come up with creative ideas to incorporate key aspects of the history and culture of the village into the infrastructure of the park.'
Particularly attuned to the needs of socially minded groups looking to improve their environment by introducing far thinking creativity into your villages, parks, car parks, waste land and nature reserves etc.

Community Signs that say a lot more.
Posts and fixing battens are also Grown in Britain. The posts in these photographs, are planed smooth and painted white, to add another aesthetic appeal.
Community Covid-19 public memorial and yes it's made from British sustainable wood.
One of Scotland's Community Covid-19 memorials.
This is a 'light touch' covid memorial, a marker in time. It's a Peek-a-Boo panel, with round, square and diamond shape windows for under 5s to use. The idea is that older children and older generations will recognise the rainbow, its significance and the NHS associations. There is no written reference to the pandemic as none is needed. But, for the under 5s, all they see is fun exciting colours, hope and future.
A wave to our past, is a Public Art sculpture. My clients are a Community Group and the design came about through extensive collaboration between myself and my instructing client. It is a modern wavy shape made entirely from ‘Grown in Britain’ 100% legal and sustainable wood, grown in Scotland. It has an all-weather coating making it suitable for permanent outside installation. You will see on closer inspection that both sides of the structure are carved with various facts and references (including a poem) to the social history of the village in which it is located.

Popular Questions
Signs or public art?
Whether you're looking for signs that relate to your community, or a sculpture to commemorate an event, popular figure or aspiration for the future, I make it all. Fully consultative design service, regular video updates that can be shared through your social media.
How are the signs made?
All my signs, are heavily made from Scottish grown Larch. They are laminated and end up about 35 -40 mm thick and can be any size or shape. I make them to be long lasting and robust. They are finished in a high quality, high gloss yacht varnish to protect their natural appearance and colour. Your sign will benefit from some future maintenance by re-applying new varnish once every three or four years.
Signs, and information panels.
I understand these things take time.
I can turn an order into a delivered finished product in a matter of a few weeks. However, I also understand if you are a voluntary group or dealing with a number of people/groups, it often takes weeks or months to reach a consensus - no problem. My design process is a fully consultative one and so too are the regular updates when the work is actually underway. I like to think I'm fully attuned to the needs of groups and councils.
Would you like to make a no obligation enquiry?
The system is relaxed and easy. Simply complete the form below with a brief description of what you have in mind. I'll talk you through the process. You will NOT have any obligation until you have placed an order. Before the ordering stage, you will have received from me a written fixed quotation, so there will be clarity from the start. When the piece(s) is finished and before it leaves my workshop, you will have the chance to either come and see it or view photographs I'll send you, to decide whether it meets your expectations and whether to buy it or not - simple as that.
