My name is Alistair Park and I'm a professional carver who is based in Bristol, England. I've been carving for over twenty-eight years and I also enjoy teaching my skills to people of all ages. You'll find posts here about all kinds of things to do with carving; the work that I do, the people that I meet and the things that I see which inspire me. Please feel free to comment on anything of interest, it'd be great to hear from you!

A fun day at Boiling Wells in St Werburghs
We had a great day at Boiling Wells today. A group of young people with learning difficulties came for the day and we made pencils, bird feeders and pizzas, which we cooked in the wood-fired pizza oven. Steve England also came down to work with me and Anna (the youth work manager for St Werburghs City Farm). We haven't all worked on a project together since the benches in Stoke Park and it was good to catch up with him. Working with Steve and Anna is always a great laugh and there was a really good atmosphere on site.
The weather was not too cold and it wasn't raining, so it seemed like an opportunity to cook marshmallows over the fire. With Steve's help, a campfire was soon burning and the marshmallows were cooking. I'm looking forward to next week when we will hopefully have another fire (weather permitting!).
