Choose your carving theme:
Barn Owl Sleeping Fox
Hedgehog Robin
Hare

What to expect
This is a relaxed, supportive three-hour workshop where you’ll learn simple carving techniques using rasps and hand tools to create depth, texture and character. No prior experience is needed — it’s designed especially for complete beginners.
Most people are genuinely surprised by what they achieve. The process is absorbing, satisfying and wonderfully grounding. You’ll leave with a finished piece you’ve made yourself — something solid, meaningful and ready to display indoors or outdoors.
Included in your workshop:
All carving tools
Materials
PPE (dust mask, eye protection, gloves, apron)
A prepared template of your chosen design
Step-by-step guidance throughout
Your finished carving is yours to take home on the day.
