To make a useful form from a piece of wood makes you feel good. You feel empowered and connected, relaxed yet concentrated as the mind focus on the hands and the hands on the tool and the tool on the wood.

Whittling and carving

A typical whittling class with me runs from 4-6 hours and by the end you will be proud to take home what was once a stick but is now a usable object - such as a butterknife, a spoon or spatula. You will also have learned safe ways to handle sharp tools and enough about wood to be able to continue on your own.

I run classes for individuals at my studio in Bergen city centre as well as at select outdoor locations around Bergen in the summer months. I also run classes for groups on request - a popular team building activity. Please get in touch for a quote.

Woodturning

I run woodturning lessons from beginner to intermediate level on request. Lessons are for one person at a time, with a content that is tailored specifically to your needs as a student. Get in touch if you want to know what this might look like for you.
