Carving course for beginners and advanced in Polička

The course takes place in Polička in a studio and is designed so that the participant takes away a finished product that he or she has carved with his or her own hands. The day starts with an introduction to working with wood - you will learn how wood is selected and how to prepare a suitable semi-finished product. This is followed by a practical session where you will learn how to hold the tools safely, the basic cuts and procedures needed for the actual carving. The most common choice is the bowl, which is ideal for beginners. If you are already experienced or up for a challenge, you can also try a spoon, candy molds or a simpler sculpture (more challenging topics). Professional chisels and machine-made blanks are loaned to make it realistic to get the final result done within a day. Finally, you'll get to the finishing tou ches and tips on how to continue at home - including recommendations on buying the right tools. An hour lunch break is possible.
