Dick is an Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and a senior carving tutor at the City & Guilds of London Art School.
For over thirty years he has had wide experience of teaching traditional and modern sculpture and has carried out original commissions for clients both in this country and abroad. A number of these works have been for public display.
 As well as his teaching he has been engaged in writing numerous articles for the Woodcarving Press and is also currently engaged with writing his third book which will deal with stone carving.
Dick was awarded a gold medal for teaching by the City and Guilds of London Institute and was the first recipient of the President’s (the Duke of Edinburgh’s) award for teaching carving.
 The Course
This is our tenth year and our twentieth summer school! Beginners and the more experienced alike come to work side by side in an environment where it is possible to learn, exchange ideas, explore styles traditional, modern and abstract and to be inspired by the ambience, the beauty of the environment, the teaching and the company of sympathetic people.
When not carving you can relax in the house; walk in the surrounding countryside; visit the craft centres, villages and places of interest nearby; or just stroll down to the pub and enjoy a drink while looking over the Vale of Evesham to the Malverns and the Welsh hills.
All local information is available in the house.
