What to expect
Expect a relaxed studio setting where your instructor demonstrates each step before you have a go yourself. You'll start by familiarising yourself with the tools—chisels, gouges, mallets—and how they behave in the wood. The instructor circulates to check your grip, posture and technique, making corrections as needed. Over the two hours you'll progressively shape a simple object, working at your own pace. It's not about perfection; it's about understanding how wood responds to different cuts and pressures.
