Marcus Steel
Marcus is a designer and silversmith based in a small village on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. He works predominantly in metal, creating elegant, sculptural cremation urns and memorial vessels that reflect his deep interest in architectural styles and decorative details drawn from both ancient and contemporary sources.
His handmade metal cremation urns are crafted using traditional silversmithing and metalworking techniques, resulting in unique artistic urns. Each piece is finished using a combination of chemical patinations, painted surfaces, and gold leaf, producing understated yet distinctive vessels that honour memory through timeless design. These architectural urns embody a quiet strength, offering a contemporary take on memorial art.
