I have had the honour of designing and cutting the first memorial sealing stone for the only modern long barrow in the world, here at All Cannings, where Neolithic building methods and materials have been applied to achieve a resting place with a sacred atmosphere. A long barrow is a place where cremated remains in urns are kept in niches, which are then sealed with an engraved stone.
The relief carved motive on this stone represents the local hills (which in Neolithic times were viewed as ‘the breasts of the goddess’) with the ancient symbol of a crescent above it. The lettering for the family name was kept very traditional and v-cut, to allow shadows to bring it to life. The Family name is below the motive to indicate that we sleep below the hills and moon.

In October 2014, Lisi was asked to become Chairman of MOS and gladly took on the challenge. For 2015 she has introduced Lead Sponsors (Smiths Gore estate agents) and Lead Supporters (Dudley Jewellery and Benchmark Furniture). The Preview Show at the Mount House Gallery (2nd -8th May) will be another fantastically exciting event, where 70 artists exhibit together to kick start the 2015 Open Studios season (every weekend in July). Look out for the new road signage and sleek brochures!
