Ian Norbury

Mr Norbury paid us a visit by us I mean Woodcraft in Albuquerque.
I got to spend a few moments talking with him about his craft and home in England. Seems he is somewhat Isolated in the hill country of west England.
I guess we have it good those of us with ready access to shops and stores in general. He and his wife were he for about a week instructing on carving busts. I watched for a while I didnt want to seem to nosey but I did see where some of the guys and gals who were taking lessons had shocked me with there work. one person in particular who I have known for a while I consider my friend, had allways had trouble carving faces in greenmen the bust he was working on was fantastic If I hadn't seen him carving it I wouldnt have believed he had done it. Ian set the students up with a block of Bass about 12 inches by 6 by 6 on a vise so these were good size heads.
If you get the chance and have the money it is well worth the time to take his classes.

Ian Norbury carving in person and teaching WOW. I have all of his books and want to get his new dvd.
