Join us and the City & Guilds of London Art School for a panel discussion on the future of carving.
oin us and the City & Guilds of London Art School for an evening of discussion exploring the future of carving in the age of technological change. In this panel event, carvers Nina Bilby, Tim Crawley, and Rob Postle, together with art historian and Pygmalion editor Michael Paraskos, consider the challenges and opportunities facing hand-carving today.
From the impact of laser-guided cutting machines to other emerging technologies, we ask whether traditional wood and stone carving still has a place – and, if so, what shape it might take in the years ahead. With initiatives such as the Carving Takeaway and the Pygmalion Project opening up new conversations about carving for the first time in almost a century, is the craft on the threshold of a creative revival, or are we witnessing its final chapter?
