Have you ever appreciated the beauty and flowing lines of a woodcarving and thought this is something you would like to try? This Introduction to Woodcarving class with Stephen Ryan from Green Woodwork Ireland will teach you the skills needed to produce a relief woodcarving of your own to take home and enjoy. You will also learn about wood's unique properties, along with the many shapes and sizes of woodcarving chisels and how to use them safely and effectively. This class is ideal for people that just want to try something new along with those that want to take their newfound skills to the next level. The tutor will provide a number of different woodcarvings to choose from. No experience necessary.

Due to the use of sharp tools during the class, sturdy boots or shoes should be worn. Open-toed or low-cut footwear is not suitable and may mean you cannot participate in the workshop. The tutor will supply safety gloves but if you have your own tight-fitting safety gloves feel free to bring them along.
