The workshop in detail
Join an enriching two-day workshop, hosted by Ben, where the art of wood carving comes to life through a series of two engaging 1-hour sessions.
The workshop commences with a comprehensive introduction, setting the stage for participants to delve into the craft. Safety and the proper handling of tools are paramount, and attendees will gain a thorough understanding of these essential aspects.
Participants will commence their creative journey with an off-cut of wood, learning the intricacies of blade sharpening and maintenance to ensure precision and safety throughout the carving process.
Guided by Ben, attendees will have the opportunity to select an animal subject for their carving project and begin the intricate process of shaping it. With Ben's expert guidance, you'll refine your carving skills, bringing your chosen animal to life one delicate cut at a time.
As you near the completion of your masterpiece, you'll explore the art of sanding and the transformative power of oil, adding the finishing touches that elevate your creation to a work of art.
