About the event
This one-day course is designed to teach participants the fundamentals of Wood Carving.
OWC member Sue MacCullum will guide participants through a series of topics necessary to start your wood carving journey. Â Topics will include; styles of carving, wood selection, types of tools, safety, selecting minimum tools needed to get started and basic maintenance. Â She will also discuss finishing techniques, resources and much more.
While this is not a project class, we will put the day’s learnings into practice by carving 1 or 2 simple pieces (as shown), incorporating your new skills.
A range of tools supplied by our Flexcut Carving Tools sponsor will be available for participants use on the day of the course. Â Participants are encouraged to bring along their own carving tools, if applicable.
