Greg Meeson and Matt Bateman will be delivering a presentation on their pioneering collaborative works in the restoration of carved historic features in wood. Their innovative and award-winning process introduces a wealth of digital technology alongside traditional skills to bring powerful new capabilities and efficiency whilst fully retaining the traditional skills of hand carving, fine joinery and conservation knowledge. This introduction of technology is deliberately focused on enhancing and uplifting traditional craftsmanship, rather than seeking to replace it. Their talk will explore their process, looking at how they combine capabilities from two distinctly different practices. It will look at their significant works for Stowe House where their creation of two richly detailed chimney pieces for Stowe’s State Dining Room showcases all aspects of their workflow.
