Ian Norbury's ability as a sculptor is matched only by his success as a teacher. His innovations in technique and concept have revolutionised wood carving and, to a large extent, created the great popularity it enjoys today.

Ian Norbury is recognised as one of the world’s leading wood sculptors and is in demand as a teacher world wide. He has taught in the U.S., England, Iceland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and Germany.

He has judged and demonstrated at major woodworking exhibitions.

Here he shares his knowledge with woodcarvers whether they are starting out or are accomplished and seeking to polish their technique.

His Masterclasses are a rare opportunity for a limited number of students each year.

While watching a DVD you are standing beside him while he carves and explains the process of producing a finished piece. 

He published his first book, “Techniques of Creative Woodcarving” in 1983 and has since published eight more books on various aspects of wood carving.  All of the books are now available to download from this website.
