After my chance meeting with Hugh Wedderburn and seeing some of his beautifully carved work attached to his lapel, I visited him in his east London studio, as he’d kindly offered me some dust for my Museum.
Hugh makes his carvings from lime, pear, mahogany, Russian redwood and oak. Infant trees were growing in his studio.
And a propos master woodcarvers, there’s a Grinling Gibbons exhibition currently in the City of London.
