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.

Simon King reviewed: Carve your own picture-relief, with experienced woodcarving teacher in Devon

"Really enjoyed my day. Almut clearly knows about woodcarving and how to teach beginners. She is very patient and suportive, she guided me through producing a woodcarving that I could take home with a feeling of accomplishment (and pride!). "

Almut Woolard responded:

"Dear Simon, Your carving is beautiful. Thank you for the review. Best Wishes Almut"

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."

Rachel and Charlie reviewed: Woodcarving weekend with experienced teacher, all levels of experience welcome

"This was an excellent course, Almut is very knowledgeable as well as being a lovely person keen to share the magic of wood carving! I had very little experience with working with wood and my partner is a carpenter but she catered for both our abilities, would definitely recommend!"

Almut Woolard responded:

"Dear Rachel, Dear Charlie, You are both very skilled in your own individual ways. Seeing you applying your exciting skills is great. Both finished carvings are very personal and beautiful. Thank you for coming and enjoying the course. "

"Almut is absolutely brilliant. I loved the two days I spent carving lime wood under her supervision. It's an experience that will live with me forever. "

Almut Woolard responded:

"Dear Jags, You made very quick progress with the ambitious carving of a Moebius strip. I enjoyed the two days and loved seeing your sculpture taking shape. Happy Woodcarving. Almut"
