About Us

All notice boards from Harry Stebbing’s workshop are made from English oak, sourced with much care from locally managed estates, where replanting and aftercare are second nature. Their modern designs, yet traditional construction, are equally at home with either contemporary structures or historic buildings. Attention to detail is paramount with the design and making of both wall-mounted and free standing notice boards. Many sizes of lockable, open fronted, free access or combinations are available. Vinyl lettering or hand carving by a master carver is also available. The backing is a drawing pin friendly Sundeala pin-board or a weather resistant cork/rubber composite; the finishing oil is completely organic. Your unique logo in coloured vinyl or a weather resistant glass reinforced plastic can be incorporated into the header board. The design of their extensive range are the result of many years experience working in wood, giving a product with many important features that will ensure an extended life.

Gerry Lowden is part of our happy team of artisans, joining us on a part time basis in the year 2000, a great start to our millennium; he qualified as a teacher of woodwork (cabinet making) and metalwork in the traditional style in 1957.
After 40 years of teaching of an ever changing subject – 25 of those with Harry at County Upper School Bury St Edmunds - he retired as a design technology teacher in 1997. For the last ten years he has been doing private commission work in cabinet making and associated woodworking projects – church furniture, rocking horses and furniture to individual design.
A long standing member of the College of Craft Education (MCCEd)

Robert’s first memories of his interest in woodwork was coming across an old biscuit tin containing carved puppet/marionette limbs and torsos in his grandfather’s garage. Having travelled with his father in the Royal Air Force, the family eventually settled in Suffolk where at the age of seventeen, Robert was offered an apprenticeship as a woodcarver with Titchmarsh & Goodwin in Ipswich.
During the mid eighties Robert was invited to tender for the restoration and refurbishment of No 10 Downing Street. The sheer amount of architectural carving involved deemed it necessary for several woodcarvers to be involved. At the end of the project Robert was invited to carve the Royal Arms, (approximately one metre square) which now adorns one of the State Rooms and is one of his favourite commissions to date.
Other projects have included Uppark House, Hampshire : Windsor Castle : Foreign Office, London : St Mary’s Church, New York : House of Commons, London : Globe Theatre : London. In contrast to much of the above, Robert has undertaken regular commissions of extremely small and detailed carvings for pattern making in bronze or brass, and of course does all the hand carving for the Harry Stebbing Workshop.
