Maker's bio

With over 20 years of teaching experience I love sharing my skills and learn from my students. My own artistic work is inspired by the ever-changing and evolving forms in nature and the seasons. Animals and the development of plant forms, are a constant inspiration for me. Working wood with traditional hand tools and techniques is a very rewarding experience. Each piece of wood is different and carving is an inspiring conversation with a unique piece of living material.

Clare Selley reviewed: Woodcarving weekend with experienced teacher, all levels of experience welcome

"A friend and I attended the 2-day course with Almut and thoroughly enjoyed it. She patiently guided us through the techniques required to transform a plank of wood into beautiful carved wooden bowls. I would definitely recommend this course and this tutor."

Almut Woolard responded:

"Thank you for your kind words. I enjoyed the weekend and was impressed how quickly you learned the new skill of using the tools."
