ART in ACTION

The Liveries Wood Group comprising the Carpenters, Joiners & Ceilers, Upholders, Turners and the Furniture Makers gave demonstrations of their craft at this popular exhibition held from 17-20 July 2008. The Upholders were represented by two Liverymen, Gregory Cupitt Jones and Roy Theobald, each upholstering items of seat furniture in the  traditional manner, to give the visitors at least some idea of the techniques and eye for line required to produce an item that is in keeping with the period of its manufacture.
