Green Woodworking Courses
I am happy to provide a range of Green Woodworking related classes for people to attend. As time goes by, my hope is to expand the scope of classes available. In my classes you will learn to use a range of traditional hand tools including axes, froes, knives and saws.
Most people find spoon carving to be something that gets under their skin and leaves them saying ‘I know I can do better on my next one!’. Once you have the basic skills and a few simple tools the possibilities are endless. Carving is a lovely way to pass the time. Hours can be whiled away happily lost in concentration by the fire, allowing your brain some much needed clarity and rest from the day to day without having to sit at the meditation mat.
Spoons also make lovely gifts. Your family and friends won’t know what’s hit them. Before long it’ll be spoons for birthdays, anniversaries and christmas…
Come along and join me for an afternoon of carving. Whether you’ve never picked up a knife, or you’ve got some experience and are looking to improve your skills.
All classes will be taught from my heated home workshop in Blewett just outside Nelson, BC. All tools and materials will be provided for the courses along with tea and coffee.
