Create your own personalised hand-carved wooden sign at this bespoke workshop at the Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th January. At the Folk Museum, we have a fantastic team of in-house skilled craftspeople who keep our heritage skills and traditions alive for future generations. Learn the art of letter carving with our expert carpenter, expect an intro to wood selection, preparation and understanding grain for carving. You'll also find out what tools are required, and how to sharpen chisels and gouges, as well as lettering forms including how to layout and correct spacing for carving. Our carpenter will demonstrate each element when carving letters to show the appropriate technique for carving straights, curves and junctions. Then you'll be free to have a go at carving, with assistance on hand!
