Intro to Woodcarving

Have you ever marveled at the fine detail or flowing lines of a wood carving? Or perhaps you have wondered what it would be like to carve wood? Join one of our Intro to Woodcarving workshops and let our experts charm and assure you that a woodcarving to be proud of will be in your hands by the end of the course. 

Learning to carve wood is a beautiful experience. Even if you have never held a chisel before or can’t draw a design, our tutor’s inspiring method of teaching will build your confidence and teach you correct woodcarving technique in a relaxed manner.

By following the contours of the wood pattern or a real leaf, you will learn the classic set of practical steps to a low relief woodcarving in lime wood.

As sharp tools are the key to success, they will also show you how to keep your tools in top condition to achieve the results you desire.
