OUR STORY
Following his passion, William Barsley let go of his office job in 2013 after finding himself yearning for something more creative. Five years later, after retraining as a historic woodcarver and gilder at the renowned City and Guild of London Art School, William was honoured to be asked to work on the restoration of medieval carvings at the Houses of Parliament. He has since undertaken a wide range of projects with a focus on bespoke carving commissions. He is also passionate about teaching others in order to help preserve this traditional craft. It's safe to say that he's never looked back!
