Simon Hedger
30 Years of Wood Sculpture and Chainsaw Carving in Wales
We made a short documentary about Simon Hedger, a wood sculptor living in Wales. Shot over 1.5 days and edited across 2 weeks, the film explores his life, craft, and inspirations.
For more than 30 years, Simon has worked as a self-employed sculptor, carving over 1,000 pieces including more than 40 monumental public works. From his workshop in a traditional Welsh longhouse to iconic carvings across Wales and beyond, Simon shares what drives his creativity, his love of cedar, and the role of faith, spirit, and community in his art.
