Bill is a qualified adult education teacher, who has taught all aspects of woodcarving for nearly 12 years. He has put his experience to good use in the structure and presentation of his courses. He teaches both small group courses and on a one-to-one basis from his workshop in Near Faversham in Kent, UK.

Bill knows the pitfalls and problems which all carvers can encounter and will help students to avoid mistakes. From how to select wood, to finishing techniques, all aspects of woodcarving are covered. Bill will answer any specific queries you may have and will help you to make the most of your talents.

Some comments from previous students:-

“Thank you so much for a really fantastic weekend of carving.  It was so helpful and a great confidence booster in my ability to have a go and actually get something done” Ros, Surrey

The course exceeded my expectations. Venue was good...course was taught with a good balance of hands on carving and teaching. The bonus was the wealth of knowledge and experience that Bill was able to share”. Terry L, Kent

 “I enjoyed every day, the week went too quickly, it met all my expectations and more; the tuition was first class ... I particularly appreciated being left to get on with the work knowing that there was always a watchful eye in the background to ensure I stayed on the right track. A course I wish I could have done some years ago. Terry D. Kent

The courses are held in Bill's workshop, based on a hop farm in rural Kent near Faversham. The group courses are designed to be informal and fun, but with a structure which enables students to reach set targets. The group courses are conducted either over two or five days.

There are excellent B&Bs and restaurants in the village or nearby for those who need accommodation, and for those bringing partners or friends there are plenty of alternative activities (beautiful walks, a variety of bird reserves, culture and shopping in Canterbuy, Rochester and Maidstone to mention a few ).

Bill also teaches on an individual basis and he can discuss your needs and design a course that will meet your personal aims.
