Evening Beginners Wood Carving

Swansea Community Workshops are running an evening beginners wood carving class on Wednesday 28 October, part of a new series of workshops they've launched for anyone intrigued by the craft. It's a complete introduction, so you don't need to have ever picked up a carving tool in your life to join in.

The session is led by an experienced practitioner who'll walk you through the basics from the ground up. You'll start with the practical side of things—how to set up your workspace, which tools you'll need, and how to work safely—before moving on to a number of carving techniques and skills. The tutor stays on hand throughout, supporting and guiding you as you work, so you're not left to figure it out on your own.

One of the best bits is that you don't need to bring a thing: all materials and equipment are supplied, and tea and coffee are included, which makes it a lot easier to just turn up and get started. It's open to over-16s, and the organisation operates a no-refunds policy, so it's worth being sure before you book.

The workshop runs from 18:00 at Swansea Community Workshops, 208 High Street, Swansea SA1 1PE, and tickets are £10.
