Bowl Carving - 1 day introduction

Description

Turn a log of locally sourced wood into a hand carved bowl in a day! You will be introduced to the hand tools that make this process possible, including an axe and carving gouges. This is a physically demanding carving day. No experience necessary, just plenty of enthusiasm and stamina! This workshop is carried out at "The Clearing", an outdoor purpose-built creative space in Lesnes Abbey Woods. Boots and sturdy footwear must be worn (no open toed shoes). All protective equipment is supplied. Whatever the weather, the workshop will proceed, except under high wind conditions or lightning. Our parachute canopy and central, open fire will keep you warm and dry as you carve.

What's included in the price?

All materials and tools are included. Please bring a packed lunch and a flask. There are toilets on site, as well as fresh drinking water. To find us in the woods, enter Lesnes Abbey Woods from New Road. Alternatively, find us on Google Maps with this address: The Clearing Belvedere SE2 0AX
