About Clark Kellogg
Clark Kellogg
is an artist from Houston, Texas who specializes in letter carving in wood.
Letter carving has a long and rich history, but sadly today it is an almost forgotten
art. Cutting letters by hand is a demanding process requiring skill and
patience, but there is simply no substitute for the results that can be
accomplished using a mallet, chisel, and gouge - there is a crispness and a
subtlety that cannot be matched by machine. Kellogg studied letter carving
under master carver Chris Pye and has been carving letters on commission and
spec ever since. Some past lettering projects have included house numbers, dedications,
awards, and signs. His work has appeared in Fine
Woodworking, Woodworker West, and
Letter Arts Review.
