Enjoy a relaxed day, chipping around in a circle, learning a new skill that you could later take anywhere with minimal tools. Whittling embraces simplicity and allows your mind to focus on the present time, a wonderful way to unwind from the week and life challenges. In this class we will: * Learn the basics of whittling. * Talk about wood, grain and how to work with them. * Experience the tools and the different cuts. * Create a small figurine (or two) from start to finish – from the design stage and all the way to sanding, oiling and painting (if you wish). No previous experience is needed for this class- you will be guided every step of the way. You will be provided with: Wood, tools and safety gloves. As well as tea, coffee and refreshments. Please bring: Lunch, your tools (optional), and please wear closed shoes. There is wheelchair access. The class is suitable for 16 year olds and above.
