Intro to Greenwood Carving

Carving freshly cut green wood with a sharp knife is an enjoyable and mindful experience. In our session David Knight will have a range of wood including hazel sticks and prepared blanks of spoons, spatulas or butter knives for you to complete. We’ll learn how to use a carving knife safely and there will be an opportunity to use hook knifes, draw knives on a shaving horse or learn axe hewing techniques. If you don’t complete your item in the evening David will be available with tools on other Craft Club sessions to provide further informal tuition. All tools and materials provided. Be careful though, Greenwood carving is very addictive!
