Simple wood carving- develop skills in whittling and finishing to create beautiful forms
Join us for an enriching and relaxed weekend artistic experience in this new program of simple wood carving using whittling knives.
We will watch as a beautiful bird emerges from the wood through the activity of our own hands and will.
This experiential course will introduce participants to carving techniques, tool care, and finishing (sanding, oiling, waxing).
This is a an artistic and social meeting, providing a time to develop new skills, feel into our hands using tools and softwoods, learn about ourselves and how we develop through artistic work, meet new people and share morning tea.
This part-time courses is non-accredited and we can provide a Certificate of Professional Development upon completion.
