The course will cover everything you need to know to begin wood carving. Learn the functions of different chisels; understand the shapes and numbering system.

Recent reviews of Wood Carving Workshop

  • 5/5 from Richard Stone, attended Apr 2024: Great class and very attentive tutor. Surprisingly tiring but enjoyable nevertheless. A very different but welcome birthday gift.
  • 5/5 from Michael Harrigan, attended May 2023: Super patient tutor who supplied all tools and materials. The location is beautiful and you could choose to be inside or out. I chose to carve a heron and considering I am a complete novice, was delighted by the outcome. This course was s gift from my son but I am looking forward to booking myself another weekend. The stone carving looked amazing. Mike
  • 5/5 from James Darby, attended May 2023: Had woodcarving experience and really enjoyed it. Galant was so patient and helpful which made the course such a pleasure. The venue was just perfect.
