The Orchard Carving Studio was founded by William Barsley, a professional woodcarver and sculptor based in Devon. Trained in traditional carving techniques and with years of experience creating bespoke works for historic buildings, private commissions, and public art, William wanted to create a space that celebrates craftsmanship and community. Set within the beautiful surroundings of The Cider Press Centre in Dartington, the studio is both his working workshop and a creative hub where traditional skills are kept alive.
