Inigo Jones Slateworks is a very special place, possibly the last
surviving example of a fully operational Slateworks in North Wales.
Established in 1861 the workshop is a thriving local business,
supplying slate products all over the world.
Discover the secret of of Welsh slate. A self-guided tour includes
a video presentation, exhibitions on geology, history of the slate
industry, calligraphy and lettercutting.
Try your hand at calligraphy and engraving on a piece of slate that
you get to keep as a souvenir.
You
can also watch as nameplates, plaques and memorials are either hand
or machine engraved or shot blasted.
We have a superb Slate craft showroom where you
can see a wide range of high quality slateware produced by ourselves,
as well as other welsh craft products such as pottery, glassware
and prints. Welsh Slate nameplates and plaques can be engraved to
order. Inigo Jones now has a new online shopping web site for all
its products. These products can be ordered on line and posted anywhere
in the world. For further information or to order go to www.inigojones.co.uk.
