"I would like to thank Tom for turning a good idea into a truly inspirational piece of art. I am sure that it will continue to bring pleasure to a lot of people for many years to come.” Jean Dowty, Wychavon District Council
Tom has worked on a number of community projects that have taken the form of running group workshops where participants produce designs and models along a chosen theme for a carving. The group can then become actively involved in making the sculpture (not using chainsaws!) learning simple, safe chisel carving techniques. Through a group being an integral part of the whole process, they gain a sense of ownership and understanding of the sculpture.
Chainsaw carving is an exciting process to watch, and is therefore well suited to demonstrations at schools, festivals and other public events.
