Whittling is a simple, ancient craft that invites focus, patience, and creativity. These workshops offer a relaxed and welcoming environment where participants can slow down, work with their hands, and enjoy the tactile pleasure of carving wood.

Beginners Whittling Workshop 

Enjoy a relaxed day chipping away in a circle, learning a new skill that you can take anywhere with minimal tools. Whittling is the kind of craft you can enjoy on your porch, near a campfire, or at the kitchen table, creating small and charming objects from wood.

In this class you will:

* Learn the basics of whittling.

* Understand wood grain and how to work with it

* Experience the tools and practice different cuts.

* Create one or two small figurines from start to finish, including sanding, oiling, and optional painting

If you are experienced, I can help you design and tackle more complex carvings.

You will be provided with: Wood, tools and safety gloves. As well as tea, coffee and refreshments.

Please bring: Lunch, your tools (optional), and please wear closed shoes.

If you have physical challenges, please let me know and I will try to find a way to accommodate your needs. There is wheelchair access.

The class is suitable for 16 year olds and above.
