Our independent artist's studio has been active for over 15 years and throughout this time we have produced many commissions and held courses with students visiting this historic region from all over the world. The studio was formerly on Via della Scala, in the historical Palace of the Riblet Bargagli Petrucci in the center of Florence, but moved in 2022 to the new location in the countryside.

Caithness

Caithness flagstone is a Devonian sandstone, named after the Northern Scottish county in which it is most abundant and famous for its jet black appearance when polished. The flagstone is unrivalled in its versatility and durability, as a result of this, it can be found around the world in paving, architecture and, more recently, interiors. We've spent a long time getting to know the properties of this fascinating material and discovering how best to apply its exceptional properties to stylish and practical solutions for modern living interior and exterior projects. All quarrying, processing, hand finishing and quality control checks are done by us at source in Caithness, shipping orders around the UK and beyond. Over 25 years' combined experience means we know exactly which layer to extract and how to cut and finish the stone to ensure a stunning end product. Caithness flagstone was formed some 370 million years ago as result of subsidence and deposition in a structural basin known as the Orcadian Cuvette, also known as Lake Orcadia. The material was believed to have been discovered by Stoneage farmers who used it to structure their impressive tombs. In the 19th century the Caithness flagstone industry was buoyant, and the material was shipped all over the world from 11 major quarries in Caithness. It was during this time that the 'Spittal beds' were discovered to contain the finest grade material for strength and durability combined. Norse Stone operates two quarries in Caithness - Lieurary and Banniskirk, both are located near the village of Halkirk. These are within the Spittal beds, giving us access to the best Caithness flagstone available.
