After a five year apprenticeship as a wood and stone carver Bradford's (a leading London workshop) in the 1950s, Tony worked at the firm for fifteen years as a journeyman. He then moved to St Paul's Cathedral as Master Carver. There he was responsible for the cathedral's extensive conservation and restoration programme and also created new work. In this conversation we explore Tony's lifelong fascination with the art and craft of carving, inspired by forms in the natural world.
