Wood Carving Classes in Holmfirth. Beginner's project- relief carving.

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. After your first relief is completed, the only limit is your imagination. Previous students have made everything from a Möbius strip to a woodblock printing plate, along with many animals, figures, heads, owls, green men…
The workshop is open from 4-6pm each Wednesday. The introductory class allows for 12 hours of studio time to be completed in a 6 consecutive weeks.
