What happens on the day?
A half-day wood carving course with Woodcarving Art in Waltham Forest. Woodcarving Art say it suits people starting from scratch.
What is wood carving?
Carving means cutting a shape into a block by hand, with gouges and a mallet. It is slower than turning and there is no machine doing any of the work. Beginners usually start with a relief carving, where the design is cut into a flat panel rather than in the round, because it teaches tool control without needing you to think about a shape from every angle at once.

Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to bring my own tools?
Woodcarving Art does not state on their page whether tools are provided for this course. Ask them before you book, because a hand carving course can assume you bring your own.
Is it suitable for a complete beginner?
Woodcarving Art bills this course as suiting people starting from scratch. If you have never done any wood carving before, say so when you book so they know what to expect.
Is £20 a fair price for this?
Most half-day woodworking courses on this site cost between £40 and £100. At £20 this one sits below almost all of them, out of 33 we hold a price for. Price alone will not tell you which suits you: group size and what is included matter as much.
Who do I book with?
You book directly with Woodcarving Art. Woodwork UK does not take bookings, does not add a fee, and is not paid for the link. They set the dates, the price and the number of places.
