Wood Carving

Carving is a beautiful process. The textures, sounds and aroma of the materials will awaken your senses, accompanied by the rhythms of each student driving chisel with mallet. In this class you'll work using finest quality hand tools to carve green timber. Everything is provided. You’ll be shown how to care for tools and where to acquire your own.


No previous experience is required. Your first class will take the form of a structured introduction to the tools and processes involved. In the following weeks you’ll complete your first project. This is a guided workshop with a maximum of eight participants, where the tutor is on hand to provide tuition, advice and assistance as you develop your own project. New students are advised to start with the 4 week introductory relief carving class. After this, the only limit is your imagination. Previous participants have made everything from a Möbius strip to a woodblock printing plate, along with many animals, figures, heads, owls, green men…


Two options are available: 


-An initial four week introductory course of relief carving.


-A flexible ‘workshop’ session. In this students purchase twenty hours of studio time to use as they wish within a four month time period.


Carving a sculpture is hugely satisfying. The textures, sounds and aroma of the materials will awaken your senses, accompanied by the rhythms of mallet driving chisel. The material slowly reveals the form within, compelling you to continue.

The introductory course is £125.


Twenty hours of studio time is £240, to be used whenever you wish. the studio is open from 4.00-8.00 pm every Wednesday.
