All About Nigel Sardeson

Regret: Visitors by appointment only.


I produce large woodcarvings of natural and abstract forms. I carve in strong curves that flow with the grain of the wood and I look for shapes that we recognise and that create an impression. When carving figurative work I aim to be accurate enough to make the result believable but stop short of the detail that can render a carving lifeless. The patterns achieved by cutting across the grain of wood add complexity to the forms and are brought out through sanding and oiling the finished work.
