Brief History

Formed in 2005 from the students of a carving course at Chippenham College, the members wanted a workshop/studio of their own for wood carving and other related skills. They teamed up with Michael Huntley (their then wood carving tutor) to form the club and to share the premises where he could also run furniture restoration courses but also give technical advice to the wood carvers. After a huge effort the workshop/ studio is now operational with individual workstations set up in the original horse stalls. The club caters for a range of abilities and is keen to attract new members.
