Woodentops’ work - past and present members.

























The Woodentops is a woodcarving group based in Orpington, Kent. Established in 1997 our membership includes carvers of all abilities from novice to advanced. All are welcome to join or just come along and visit us to see how we work. Typically our members are drawn from South East London and West Kent. We meet every first Saturday of the month, with the exception of January, between 9.00am and 1.00pm. Our venue is St John’s United Reformed Church Hall, Lynwood Grove, Orpington, Kent BR6 0BG (5 minutes walk from Orpington station). Please read our latest newsletter, available on this site each month, for more details.
We are not a class. We are a group of carvers of all abilities who help each other. All are welcome to come to our sessions and there is no obligation to join the group. We even provide free refreshments! Our members are always more than happy to discuss their work. Regarding membership, it is open to all, irrespective of ability.
We are a self-help group and there is no shortage of advice, contacts and knowledge.
