Greenwood Carving Course

Carving freshly cut green wood with a sharp knife is an enjoyable and mindful experience. In our session David will have a range of wood including hazel sticks and prepared blanks of spoons, spatulas or butter knives for you to complete. We’ll learn how to use a carving knife safely and there will be an opportunity to use hook knifes, draw knives on a shaving horse or learn axe hewing techniques.

All tools and materials provided. Be careful though, greenwood carving can be very addictive!
