Event Description
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn all about the intricate art of woodblock carving. This session is perfect for beginners - no artistic or woodworking experience is required.
By the end of this session, you will be able to: choose the right timber and tools for your project, secure your work for carving, sharpen your tools, and make a variety of different cuts. You will leave with a finished carved woodblock that can be used to reprint your unique design on paper or textiles.
