Maker's bio

I'm a figurative artist who employs a wide range of carving skills to shape wooden artworks -often to commission. As a small boy I dragged a tree from the river - split it with an axe and carved a mask from it, using a sharpened screwdriver. I have better tools now. I carve huge trees, wall relief panels and intricate handheld sculptures. Encouraging people, through workshops, to confidently use hand tools is an enjoyable and natural accompaniment to my own sculptural interests.

Elizabeth reviewed: Jason Thomson sculptural woodcarving with hand tools, eccentric whittling courses, Sheffield.

"Really enjoyed our day with Jason. After a quick tutorial on the different carving techniques we were let loose on the tools! Jason supported us to refine our design ideas to ensure we were able to complete something within the day. We left tired, but happy, proud to show our creations to our families. We'd highly recommend."
