I need a house sign in a very particular style.

Good, that's what Robert of Ingrained Culture likes best. Any style or fashion is possible. Just complete the enquiry form and Robert will be in touch.

I want an artist to make my house sign, is that possible?

Yes, Robert is a full time sculptor, he uses hand and eye alone so you will receive a very personal design and making process.

What does a wooden ecofriendly house sign cost?

Well, everyone is different and unique and so there isn't just one price. Most people spend somewhere between £125 and £450 - that's what a personalised house sign similar to the ones above would cost. However, it is possible for me to make a lovely British house sign for as little as £125. Large 2D hand painted illustrated signs are often £800 to £1000 3D sculpted signs start from £800 and are often priced between £1000 to £2000.

What do you get someone who has everything?

That's a difficult one to answer, but you can gift them either a house name or number sign, garden sculpture or architectural sculpture, this includes the whole design process and regular video updates for them to be involved in.

Do you cover the whole of Scotland?

My workshop is in South Ayrshire and delivery is countrywide. Highlands and Islands sometimes incurr addtional delivery costs.

Can I design my house sign?

Yes, I can make a sign to your design. Or, I positively encourage you to participate in the design process, if you're nearly there but want some input from me. Or, we'll design it together.

I want a truly Scottish house sign, is that possible?

It is here at Ingrained Culture, Roert will make it for you from Scottish grown wood that has been milled in Scotland, crafted by Robert in Scotland and then displayed on your Scottish home.

A customer review of Ingrained Culture woodcarver & artificer

A written five star review of Robert from Ingrained Culture

Perhaps you're looking for a sign to elevate the appearance of your house?

The design process is exciting and fun. It's also free.

The most successful house signs are those that have been thought through carefully and the first step will be that you and I work on several design ideas that you can look through and suggest amendments and whether to include personalised aspects to make your house sign elegant and special.

I often make patriotic images in different forms, shapes and sizes.

Highly accurate hand painted images, they are not printed or stuck on, I paint them by hand and individually. Just tell me what image you would like on your house sign or plaque.

Before

The hand written name sign serves a function, but does nothing to elevate the appearance or gravitas of the distinctive architecture.

After

A modernist house sign made by Ingrained Culture.

Note: this carefully thought design is 'Bauhaus' which is often abstract, angular, and geometric. The whole image is uplifted and is enhanced with the colour of the text matched to the patio colour.

Each house sign is bespoke and individually designed to meet your need perfectly.

Rear view of the same sign, you can see the round posts are directly bonded to the back, so the whole thing is one piece.

I often make posts and fixings individually too, either to be appropriate to the design of the sign or for practical considerations, just ask for details.

All styles and fashions, from traditional, through modernist to contemporary and natural. Almost anything is possible here.

Scotland's Rural Business Community

I'm Robert of Ingrained Culture I'm a woodcarver and artificer. I believe in Scotland's rural heritage and contemporary businesses. All the wood I use for everything from House Signs to Garden Sculpture is made exclusively from 100% local and sustainable 'Scottish Working Woods' compliant local timber. Sourced from a Scottish saw mill, also a member of Scottish Working Woods, and founding member of the Association of Scottish Harwood Saw Millers, so you know you have the genuine product.

I hold the certification mark

The Galloway & Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere has been recognised internationally as a

world class environment for people and nature.

UNESCO sustainable Development Goal.

Number 15: Life on land

For example, my workshop is in the grounds of my isolated home and I built it on low stilts so it provides a sheltered environment underneath for small mammals and other tiny life. The structure is all wooden and the use of concrete is restricted to small independent slabs on which the stilts stand, about 10% of what a solid concrete floor would have used.
