There’s a certain magic in the air when autumn arrives. The leaves turn to gold and crimson, the air becomes crisp, and we collectively embrace the cosy, festive spirit of the harvest season. For us, this season is defined by one thing above all: the humble pumpkin.
As professional pumpkin carvers, this is our time to shine. We live and breathe autumn. While many see a pumpkin and think of a simple, two-eyed jack-o’-lantern, we see a blank canvas. We see an opportunity to create a glowing, temporary work of art that can stop people in their tracks, advertise a brand, or become a stunning centrepiece for an event.
Why We Love the Humble Pumpkin
Beyond its creative potential, the pumpkin itself is a cornerstone of the autumn season. Embracing the pumpkin craze is about so much more than just decoration; it’s an act that supports a whole ecosystem of growers and creators.
Every time a pumpkin is purchased, it supports the farmers who have spent months tending their crops. It fuels a vital part of our agricultural economy during the harvest, ensuring these traditions can continue year after year.
Furthermore, the act of choosing a pumpkin has become a cherished tradition in its own right. It brings families and communities together, whether at a local farm’s pumpkin patch or a town-centre event. A pumpkin is more than just a gourd; it’s a symbol of harvest, community, and the creative spirit of the season. We’re proud to be a part of that tradition, taking it to the next level with professional artistry.
This Season’s Carving Showcase
We can carve all manners of different pumpkins, and our work goes far beyond simply cutting a hole. Our artists are skilled in etching, shading, 3D sculpting, and precise stencil work. The only limit is imagination.
This year has already been a whirlwind of fantastic projects, showcasing the incredible range of our team.
Jocasta, has been creating some breathtaking etched pieces. Etching is a technique where we shave the pumpkin’s skin rather than cutting through, allowing for incredible detail, shading, and a beautiful, warm glow.
Her creations this season include:
- An amazing, portrait-quality piece of Ozzy Osbourne as a tribute and for our social media.
- It got a lot of traction on our TikTok
- A stunningly detailed manor house and tree for a private client’s celebration. Claire also carved a beautiful bandstand for this same client
It’s not just private commissions; we also work extensively with businesses to help them make a seasonal statement. This year, Claire and Jonathan teamed up to carve multiple sharp, precise stencil logos of ‘Bushmills‘ Whisky, that were used within a bar’s autumn setup.
From rock-and-roll legends and corporate logos to delicate wildlife scenes and personal memories, these examples show just what’s possible.
We also created some fun and more in detail Jack-o-lanterns for a client to use with dry ice and created a mixed stencil with etched design as a gift for Duran Duran at their Co-op Live
From Our Studio to Your Event
We believe that a hand-carved pumpkin is one of the most effective and memorable ways to make an impact during the autumn season.
- For Businesses & Events: A set of branded pumpkins at a product launch or a large, intricate sculpture at a hotel entrance creates an instant “wow” factor and a perfect photo opportunity.
- For Private Parties: Imagine greeting your guests with a custom-carved pumpkin that matches your theme, celebrates a milestone, or even features a portrait.
- For Public Spaces: Live carving displays are a huge crowd-pleaser, drawing in families and showcasing the artistic process from start to finish.
