Send me a sketch of what you would like on your sign. What are your hobbies and interests?
Hand drawn, carved and painted for maximum effect.
Landscapes hand painted by Robert. This could be the view from your home, or a view you particularly like. Simply send me either a photograph or a post code and I can usually recreate the view in faithful detail.
So what do they cost?
I can make you a lovely wooden sign, most people spend somewhere between £125 and £450.
....and look at the size! Typical size somewhere between 750 and 1000mm wide and 200 to 500mm high and a thickness of either 22mm or up to 50mm.

You can have an illustration on your house sign of almost anything. Just let Robert have a photograph or a written description of what you want and he will draw it ready for your approval. The design process id fun and exciting.
In this example, my clients wanted something new and different. They came to me with their own ideas for a Tree of Life, peace dove and mystical butterfly.
Why be restricted by the normal when you can choose a design that reflects your own values in life.
Start sketching or describe to me in words what you find appealing and important.

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.
Get involved in the design.
Scottish small community signs. This design came from the clients, and was finalised through a fully immersive design process, included in the price.
Full colour hand painted images
Hand painted full colour images are my speciality. Almost anything is possible, to your design or we can design it together.
Art and soul of Scotland, in a 3D sculpted house sign.
It started with my client's vision / idea, followed by fully consultative and collaborative design and then I made it. 3D sculpted mountain scape, accurate and detailed to replicate the light, shadow and atmosphere of the real thing - it's ART.
Exclusive bespoke sculpture sign.
This traditional coat of arms is a good example of a bespoke and exclusive hand carved piece. The crown and swag are gilded with 22carrat gold and the shield hand painted.
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.
Yes, Robert is a full time sculptor, he uses hand and eye alone so you will receive a very personal design and making process.
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.
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.
My workshop is in South Ayrshire and delivery is countrywide. Highlands and Islands sometimes incurr addtional delivery costs.
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 make signs of all kinds and public art sculpture for community groups and charities. Lots of information available for fund raising applications. Experienced in fund raising requirements. My Eco credentials may ease your application process.
Any number of different signs available, made to order and individual design. Connecting to the young and Climate Crisis Mitigation. More information always available.
