With a bit of imagination\, some tools (kept razor-sharp\, of course)\, and an understanding of how to work with the grain\, you can create something truly special. Whether you’re brand new to carving or someone who’s been at it for years\, this workshop is designed for anyone who’s ready to learn and take their skills to the next level. \n  \nLet’s get to it! Here’s what you can expect during the workshop: \nWhat You’ll Learn\n  \nDesigning with Classic Techniques\nThis isn’t about guessing or random designs—we’re going to dive into traditional\, classical methods that have stood the test of time. These techniques will give your carvings a timeless and refined look\, whether for furniture\, architectural pieces\, or simply decorative projects. \nThinking in 3D Before You Carve\nBefore you ever touch the wood\, you’ve got to imagine it completely—in depth\, in detail\, in layers. I’ll help guide you through this process\, so you’re planning every cut like a true sculptor. \nLearning the Right Way to Use Tools\nSharp tools are the cornerstone of good carving—they make all the difference. But knowing how to use them is just as critical. I’ll show you the proper\, safe way to hold and work with your tools so you can carve efficiently and confidently. \nUnderstanding and Working with Wood Grain\nWood has a mind of its own—you have to listen to it\, not fight it. I’ll teach you how to read the grain\, adjust your cuts\, and make your tools and the wood feel like they’re working together. Trust me\, you’ll see the difference in your finished carvings. \nCarving a Classical Design\nThis is where it all comes together. You’ll carve a project from start to finish using classical techniques. Whether you prefer working on furniture details\, ornamental designs\, or architectural carvings\, the skills you’ll gain apply across all areas of carving. \nSharpening Tools the Easy Way\nDull tools? Forget it. I’m going to show you a fast\, foolproof process to get your tools razor-sharp and keep them that way. Once you see the results\, you’ll wonder how you ever carved without this knowledge. \nTips and Tricks to Improve Your Carving\nBeyond the basics\, I’ll share small but essential details I’ve picked up throughout my years of carving. These little tweaks can turn a decent carving into one that really stands out—something you’ll be proud to say you made with your own hands. \nWhat to Expect\nWith only 8 students in the class\, this workshop is focused and personal. You’ll work in a hand-tool classroom\, complete with high-quality workbenches and everything you might need. I’ll be there every step of the way to guide you\, answer questions\, and make sure you leave with both the skills and confidence to keep carving on your own. \nBy the end of the week\, you won’t just have a great finished piece—you’ll have the tools and know-how to start new projects and impress anyone you show your work to. And trust me\, when you show off what you’ve made\, people will be “очень горды” (ochen gordy—very proud)\, and you’ll get to say\, “Yep\, I made that.” \n\nTools You’ll Need\n\npfeil Swiss made – #11 Sweep Veiner\, 1 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #11 Sweep Veiner\, 3 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #2 Sweep Gouge 12 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #7 Sweep Gouge 14 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #9 Sweep Gouge 10 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #9 Sweep Gouge 20 mm\npfeil Swiss made – #8 Sweep Spoon Gouge 7 mm\n\nIf you own other woodcarving tools and feel like bringing them\, go ahead.
