Would you like to discover the art of woodcarving? Would you like to learn by making a useful object that will bring a touch of the forest to your kitchen?
In this 3-hour workshop, bushcraft and carving enthusiast Jesse will introduce us to the art of wood carving by creating our ideal first project: the butter knife! With its beautifully smooth curves, the handmade butter knife expresses the knowledge of wood, the efficiency of design and the elegance of simplicity. Your toast will never taste the same again!
After an introduction to Scandinavian carving, we’ll discover the basic tools and safety precautions involved in this discipline. We’ll then move on to learning the artisanal techniques of cutting, shaping and finishing. We’ll be using the most fundamental tool for sculptors: the straight knife.
Skills required: none, everyone is welcome! Carving is addictive…
The price includes all necessary materials, professional advice and thousands of chips.
