Simon Haywood Woodcarving – From his Cotswold workshop in the Slad Valley, Simon creates original designs for his customers but he is equally at home working from existing ideas they may have. A versatile and experienced carver, Simon can draw upon his knowledge of period styles too. Trained by Master Carvers Emyr Hughes and his son Dafydd, Simon’s skill in working with traditional eighteenth century methods is evident in his mouldings, frieze carvings and hand carved incised lettering.

Simon has also worked on larger decorative ornament inspired by the 17th and 18th century innovators Gibbons, Chippendale and Adams and completed restoration work for the National Trust. However, he enjoys creating design concepts for modern living too fusing styles to create a unique product in a variety of woods: oak, lime, mahogany, tulip, pine, fruit woods and elm and even poplar and ash.
