Wood Carving or Pyrography in the Woods

Description

Ruth has over twenty years of Wood Carving and Pyrography experience and will guide you step by step to create a 2d Relief Carving on a solid piece of Local Wood using traditional gouged and mallets or a design drawn and burnt into the wood.
The workshop will take place in an outdoor studio space set on the grounds of the 48 acres Birtley Estate.

Be inspired by Ruth's carved and pyrographed pieces and the surrounding landscape or bring a sketch or your own design.

Ruth will guide you through the stages and traditional techniques used to create an art piece or a sign. You will learn how to finish off and protect your work for both indoor or outdoor display.

We have multiple dates for this workshop available throughout the year, perfect for those who wish to return and add more detail into the carving or would like to work on a more ambitious piece that may take more than one day to complete!

You will leave this workshop with knowledge and confidence in the techniques and tools used to be able to continue carving at home if desired.
