Valentia Slate 🪨

More than 500 million years of geological history lies within Valentia Slate.

Renowned for its durability, natural beauty and connection to Valentia Island, this remarkable Irish stone has inspired some of INStone's sculptural work, including The Valentia Hare and The Puffin of Valentia.

The contrast between the slate's natural cleavage and the polished surfaces of the sculptures allows the ancient character of the material to remain part of the artwork.

Who is behind the stone?

Behind every sculpture is a combination of vision, skill, patience and craftsmanship. From the first mark on the stone to the smallest finished detail, our sculptors bring years of experience and traditional techniques to every piece.

Because stone may be the material, but people are what bring it to life.

Serpentinite 🪨

Rare, exceptionally hard and full of character, Serpentinite is a remarkable material for sculpture.

At INStone, its strength and enduring qualities were particularly fitting for “Gráinne Mhaol”, where the material reflects the lasting legacy of its subject.

A powerful example of how the choice of stone can become part of the story itself.

From raw stone to refined sculpture. 🪨

Every sculpture begins with something simple a block of natural stone. Through patience, precision and traditional craftsmanship, the material slowly reveals its form.

From the first mark to the final detail, every stage is part of the journey.

Nature provides the stone. Craftsmanship reveals what lies within.

Every strike of the chisel brings a little more of the sculpture to life.

Stone carving is a craft built on precision, patience and countless small decisions. From the first mark to the final detail, the process is about understanding the material and allowing the form to emerge.

One strike at a time. One piece of stone at a time.

🪨 Stone Spotlight St. Bees Sandstone

Although St. Bees Sandstone is quarried in Cumbria, England, it has become an important material in many Irish heritage and conservation projects, including work at Trinity College Dublin. Its fine grain, warm colour, and excellent carving qualities make it a trusted choice for skilled craftspeople.

At INStone, we are proud to work with this remarkable stone, preserving traditional craftsmanship while contributing to projects of lasting cultural and architectural significance.
