The Society of Heraldic Art
Felix Handley - ASHA +click image(s) to enlarge
Originally trained in fine art at Central St. Martins, Felix worked as a fine artist for a time and has work in private collections and institutions such as the Saatchi Gallery.
Having become frustrated by his lack of formal craft training, Felix decided to pursue a more traditional approach to sculpture and retrained as a stone carver at City & Guilds of London Art School.
While studying, Felix was awarded the Brinsley Ford travel prize for drawing, and The Master Carvers’ prize for carving. Having graduated with a first-class diploma in 2016, Felix’s work has already received recognition in public exhibitions. He won the Fishmongers’ Company prize for 2017, for his ‘outstanding craftsmanship and dedication’.
Felix has now set up a workshop in Hampshire, where he works as a sculptor, carver and restorer.

Available for commissions. I acquired my skills as a Heraldic Artist in Switzerland during 4 years of formal study and training under the tutelage of an Heraldic Master. During that time I was member of the Swiss Heraldic & Genealogical Society. Later I relocated abroad and expanded my artistic horizons into fine art, illustrations, and design. Currently, I reside in the State of Idaho, USA. Heraldry has remained a passion and is one of my artistic specialties. With many years of professional experience I have designed and painted countless coats of arms and family trees for individuals, fraternities, businesses, nobility, and churches throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
My work as an Heraldic Artist covers the designing and painting of intricate coat of arms, shields, family trees, monograms, and calligraphy. I also provide digitally designed coat of arms in more modern styles; they are less costly, and work beautifully as logos and stationery, etc., for businesses and professional organizations.

Having studied both heraldry and digital art under the tutelage of Laurie Patten, F.R.H.S.C., S.H.A., I qualified for my Licentiate of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada in 2015. While I had been pushing paint around a canvas I found the application of digital art applies extremely well with heraldry; using a new technique for an old art form seems to complement each other. For the heraldic achievements, table shields, wall plaques and bookends I make the fine detail of a vector image from either on original design or from a grant of arms the armiger provides. What started as a project to research the design and application of naval ship badges has turned into an appreciation of heraldry and its applications.
Regardless of the item being made I do original digital artwork for each piece. And the artwork is also provided to the clients as a high quality computer image for their use on documents, decals, banners or whatever the armiger desire.

I am a third generation artisan engraver and designer from Barcelona.
Following in the footsteps of my father and my grandfather before him, I specialize in manufacturing all kinds of custom wax stamps, iron brandings, steel stamp punches and metal engraving with coats of arms and heraldically-inspired motifs. At the beginning all were handmade but now, due to the new available technologies, I combine traditional methodology with computer design and mechanical manufacture.
My designs and engravings vary from replicating the precise image of a coat of arms into a stamp, iron, punch or engraving, to a complete redesign following a client’s instructions - for example, joining two shields in one or adding new fields, crests, supporters or mottos.
