Embark on a three-month journey into the art of wood carving. We will carve different types of woods and have the necessary time to go through the full process, step by step, together.
Throughout the session, you’ll have the opportunity to start multiple projects. We’ll begin with the foundational techniques, then gradually progress to more advanced aspects of carving—many of which I don't typically have time to cover in the full-day workshops.
We’ll meet every other Sunday from the starting date from 1pm to 4pm.
