De workshop in detail
This workshop is run on consecutive Saturdays.
Join Clunie for a two day ornamental wood carving workshop and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of wood carving.
On the first day you will start with the basics. Clunie will introduce you to the essential tools and teach you how to use them safely and effectively. You'll learn about the properties of wood, including how to understand grain direction. The day will culminate in a practical project focusing on chip carving, giving you a solid foundation to build on.
The second day will build on the skills you've already learned. Clunie will help you create a shallow relief or chip carving from one of the available designs. This piece can be taken home to display or refined in your own time.
By the end of the course you will have learned how to identify suitable wood species for future carving projects, how to use a chisel and mallet safely, how to secure your work, how to lay out your design on wood and how to create a design in relief. You will also be given a brief introduction to chisel sharpening.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Clunie in a supportive and inspiring environment! Note: No prior carving experience is necessary. Complete beginners will be guided through the basic techniques, while more advanced students will be given guidance on how to refine their skills further. But if they are too advanced, it is advised to book a one-on-one master class. They should contact the artisan ahead of booking to discuss possibilities within the class time.

You may bring any additional carving tools you wish to use, clearly marked with your name. Pack a lunch to enjoy nearby or visit the local shops and cafes a short walk from the studio. Note that participants are asked to leave the studio during the lunch break.
Please wear sturdy, covered shoes—leather boots or safety work boots are strongly encouraged. Open-toed shoes or sandals are not allowed. Dress appropriately for a workshop environment, in clothes you don't mind getting dusty, dirty, or covered in wood chips.
This course involves carving in a standing position during the course hours. Please bear in mind the physical demands of this when booking. A stool can be made available on special request, but please email prior to booking.
Don't forget to bring a notebook and pencil to jot down notes and ideas.
