courses and consultancy...Woodcarving CoursesWe will be offering a number of carving courses throughout 2007. Courses last two days, and are for two people at a time only. Workshop space is limited but this also means that the tuition is individual. Courses cover all aspects of basic woodcarving from choice of woods, and care of tools, through design and carving techniques. A two day course costs £250 per person. This includes all materials, lunch on both days and tea and coffee throughout the day. It does not include accommodation, although there is good bed and breakfast or self catering accommodation locally, and we can supply a list to potential students. We are located in a small rural village in South Ayrshire with many nearby tourist attractions, including Culzean Castle, so accompanying families need not be bored. We request a £50.00 deposit upon booking with the balance payable upon arrival. Most participants find that they can take home a piece of carving which they have confidence to finish in their own time. We prefer if students bring their own tools, but can supply some tools if this is impossible. DATES FOR 2007
We will also be offering bargain midweek single day courses in simple relief carving, for approximately 6 participants (dates to be advertised) as well as occasional individual courses for more advanced students, by special arrangement. Please enquire for more details. Alan has also had many years of experience in dealing sensitively with old and distressed woodcarvings. If you are seeking advice about damaged woodcarving, whether the problem is the ravages of time or ill treatment, whether you are seeking careful restoration or appropriate replacement carving, please don’t hesitate to contact Alan who will be pleased to offer on the spot consultation and expertise at a very reasonable rate.
