Eleanor Coade, a successful businesswoman of her time, was sought after by renowned architects and her work can be found throughout the British Isles and beyond. Remarkably resistant to harsh weather conditions, many of her creations remain in pristine condition even after two centuries.\n\nWhen Stephen Pettifer discovered that the use of Coade stone as a sculptural medium had declined and the techniques had been lost over time, he embarked on a mission to revive and perfect the original recipe and production methods from the mid-1700s. The versatility of Coade stone allows us to explore endless sculptural possibilities. Anything achievable in bronze can be accomplished in Coade.\n\nAt Coade, we specialize in Coade stone, but our artistic repertoire extends to bronze, lead, stone, plaster, resin, and terracotta as well. From monumental figures enduring harsh winters to delicate fern fountains with an impressive span, our skilled sculptors can bring any vision to life.\n\nWe invite you to explore our website and discover the remarkable world of Coade, where classical artistry meets contemporary craftsmanship.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-be07334 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"be07334\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1b7a0e9\" data-id=\"1b7a0e9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c21e64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c21e64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>THE TEAM<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-afc787e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"afc787e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5078cf2\" data-id=\"5078cf2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-788203c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"788203c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.17.0 - 08-11-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"818\" src=\"https:\/\/coade.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephen_with_lions-1024x818.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-776\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coade.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephen_with_lions-1024x818.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coade.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stephen_with_lions-768x613.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3144b31\" data-id=\"3144b31\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e7a5c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e7a5c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>stephen pettifer<\/h2>\n<span class=\"body\">Stephen Pettifer trained in Sculpting, Stone Carving, Restoration and Conservation at The City &amp; Guilds of London Art School. \u00a0Having worked as a restorer and trained under influential sculptors, Stephen developed an interest in English terracotta.
