Trevor Clarke (1971-) is a sculptor and letter-carver based near Stourbridge in the West Midlands. His letter-form work often draws upon existing texts and quotations which he carves into stone.

Clarke has been carving letters and making sculpture since 2006, both producing his own work and working as an assistant to John Neilson, Gary Breeze and Peter Randall-Page amongst others. He is a visiting lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton, teaching bronze casting and stone carving.

The 2008 winner of the Sandvik Award for Excellence in Sculpture, Clarke has also worked on numerous major public art projects throughout the UK including the V&A grand entrance donor recognition scheme, ‘The One and the Many’, London; ‘Timeline Serpentine Path’, Durlston Country Park; ‘Barry Poem’, Barry, South Wales.
