Wood Carving Introduction Class (Relief Carving) at Jamie Frost Studio

About this event

Carving is a beautiful process. The textures, sounds and aroma of the materials will awaken your senses, accompanied by the rhythms of each student driving chisel with mallet. In this class you’ll work using finest quality hand tools to carve green timber. Everything is provided. You’ll be shown how to care for tools and where to acquire your own. No previous experience is required. Your first class will take the form of a structured introduction to the tools and processes involved. You’ll then move on to your first project. This is a guided workshop with a maximum of eight participants, where the tutor is on hand to provide tuition, advice and assistance as you develop your own project. The workshop is open from 4-6pm each Wednesday. The introductory class will teach you how to make a relief carving, to be completed in a 6-8 weeks.
