A Little About My Teaching Experience
I have been a professional woodcarver for nearly thirty years, working mainly on wildlife subjects and exhibiting widely in the UK and abroad. Alongside my studio practice in Kent, I have taught woodcarving at three adult education colleges, as well as from my studio in the Kent countryside.
My teaching is grounded in hands-on experience. I focus on demystifying the carving process, building confidence through a clear understanding of:
-
Tool use and control
-
Materials and preparation
-
How each stage of a carving fits into the whole
The online tutorials are a natural extension of this approach — making woodcarving accessible to anyone who wants to learn at their own pace, while retaining the clarity and insight that come from years of working directly with wood.
I have also written over 30 articles for UK woodcarving magazines and American Chip Chats, and my work has been featured in The Sculptor’s Bible and The Sculpting Techniques Bible.
