The City & Guilds of London Art School has a very long and deep history of teaching ornamental woodcarving, with the standard of our diploma courses recognised as being equivalent to degree level through our external examiner reports and the accolades, prizes and commissions our students and graduates have won. We are delighted to have now converted the diploma courses into degree courses.
The Woodcarving & Gilding Pathway of our new BA (Hons) Historic Carving course builds upon our expertise and is a comprehensive, three-year course that will prepare you for a fulfilling career in architectural heritage as a professional woodcarver.
Whether your ambition is to create new work in historic contexts or to restore sculpture and ornament, your aesthetic and historical knowledge will be as important as your manual skills. On this course, you’ll develop this wide range of skills and will graduate fully equipped to begin a successful career.
