Carving a Woodspirit 01/08/2019
2019-08-01 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London) | Bevel Woodworking School, Fethard-on-Sea, Co. Wexford, Ireland
This is a wonderful introduction to the Workshop environment.
Carving the Woodspirit is one day course. You will discover that it is a very hands-on experience, but not just your hands, your full attention will be engaged. You will be using carving chisels and a timber mallet, and your energy and imagination will be drawn in as you progress. Your own creativity will have space to develop, with careful guidance and plenty of encouragement from your tutor Tommy. The project is different for everybody who takes part because each finished piece is unique.
This is a great day out, you will enjoy learning a new skill or improve your carving if you have already tried it before, you will enjoy focusing your mind on the task and you will be surprised at what you can create.
This course runs on a Thursday, rather than a weekend day, just for a change.

Come and share a wonderful day with a group of novice carvers. This one day course is perfect for complete beginners. Wood carving is a skill which requires practice and lots of people choose to repeat the day as there are many different carving options.

The process is enjoyable and the results are always surprising!

Rustic Log Stool 26/07/2019
2019-07-26 09:00 - 17:00
This one day course is suited for the summer, because we will be working outdoors for the day. We have trialled this great course with a local group and are now ready to include it in our schedule
In this course, you will be using the tools of the Bodger. Bodgers were highly skilled itinerant wood-turners, who worked in the beech woods of the Chiltern Hills. The term and trade also spread to Ireland and Scotland. You will make your own Log Stool from a trunk of Ash, using the shave horse to hold the timber, and the froe, beetle and drawknife to shape the timber.
We will work in our own garden space at the woodwork school, so if the weather is not suitable we can work indoors instead. A really productive and enjoyable day, with a unique finished stool at the end.
As the course is scheduled for a Friday, make it part of a weekend on Hook Peninsula
