ETL x Teresa Hunyadi
What to expect
In this workshop, we will start from the stick and in a relaxed atmosphere, we will look at how different types of wood are shaped by nature. Teresa will help you create your own wooden creatures that you can take home afterwards. This method takes up little space and requires only a few tools.
Ideal for young people who also want to continue working with wood at home or/and like to be outdoors!
This course is aimed at children aged 9+ who are keen to learn! No previous whittling experience is required but welcome.
Teresa Hunyadi is a wood sculptor and an experienced children pedagogue with a strong emphasis on sustainability. She studied wood carving at universities in Austria and Japan and teaches at universities in Scotland and The Netherlands. Her work includes representational and abstract elements, predominantly created with hand tools in wood, valuing each piece for its own character as a living material.
