About Giles Newman

Giles is a self taught artist and woodcarver. He works with naturally fallen timber that he finds in the woods and carves using just an axe and a knife. Taking up woodcarving in 2015 whist managing a small family owned woodland in Snowdonia, Giles eventually gave up his day job as a Designer and Photographer in early 2016 to pursue his passion for carving full time. Based in Lancashire, his spoons and pendants sell world wide and he teaches carving skills internationally and throughout the UK.
