What You Will Learn?

  • If you've ever wanted to get into wood carving but found it daunting or confusing then this simple gnome carving class may be the quick introduction you need. .
  • I try to keep my classes as simple as possible so that anyone with no prior knowledge of working wood can give it a go without buying any expensive tools, costly wood or having a huge amount of space. .
  • For this particular class all you'll need is a piece of wood (doesn't matter what kind though I used pine as it's the cheapest), a mallet, a couple of flat bench chisels, a clamp and a table/desk/bench to hold it on. .
  • This class will be free for the first month, after which time it will become premium.
