Learn to carve with Martin Pigg

What You Will Learn

The Craft: Master the safe use of authentic Swedish carving knives.

The Material: Work with beautiful, locally sourced lime wood.

The Science: Discover the properties of different woods and how to read the wood grain.

The Takeaway: Leave with your very own unique, hand-carved wooden bird.

Mindfulness & Play Therapy

Carving wood is a natural form of play therapy. The repetitive, tactile movement of shaving wood provides a relaxing escape from daily stresses, encouraging a state of true mindfulness as you focus entirely on the transformation of raw timber into a piece of art.

The workshop is led by experienced artisan Martin Pigg, who will guide you safely through every step, from raw block to finished sculpture. No previous woodworking experience is required!
