Bowl Carving Course

Bowl Carving course 29/30th July 2017

I am teaching a 2 day bowl carving course at the Greenwood Centre, Coalbrookdale, Shropshire close to the Ironbridge Gorge. Details available here: carving course

Learn to make a beautiful, functional wooden bowl using simple hand tools. 

Starting with a locally grown greenwood log, you will cover properties, function, design, tools and processes needed to make your own unique bowl. 

Suitable for novice and more experienced woodworkers, the course should give you sufficient confidence to continue carving at home.

Showing Off, Ludlow 14th June 2015

My new work will be on show at Ludlow Brewery along with others from both the Shropshire and Worcestershire Guilds.

I have built a new stand to display the bowls. The extra height from the plinths allows more space to show each bowl to better effect.
