C A R V I N G !
Our carving classes are in full flow on Tuesday evenings and we can’t wait to see this ‘houses’ design is carved into this piece of London Plane timber. Interestingly the timber was reclaimed from a tree which originally grew on the site of the new Southmead hospital here in Bristol which was sadly removed due to the building work.
⠀
If you’re wondering about the socks, they are Alistair’s high tech solution to damaged cutting edges and are put on G cramps to stop the carving tools being knocked into them and getting dinged. And yes, they are his old socks, which have been washed before this new use! 😃
⠀
If you fancy learning to carve you can book now for Tuesday evening classes in January, or there are TWO spaces left for our weekend workshop on the 11th & 12th Dec. Visit our website for more information and to book your place. Link in bio.

P R I N T I N G !
We love this! This furry bear was carved and printed during our Lino-Printing for Beginners evening courses where our fabulous tutor Ruth @ruthdrawsthings has been teaching our students about the tools and materials for lino-printing and rubber stamp making.
⠀
They’ve been learning how to safely use lino-cutting tools, about engraving techniques, printing inks. They’ll be going on to experiment with repeating pattern designs and more complex, stand-alone block prints and we’ll keep you updated with their progress.
⠀
If you’ve always wanted to make your own unique prints you can sign up now for our next 8 week course in 2022. Starts dates are Wednesday the 9th February or Wednesday the 4th of May and class times are 6.20pm - 8.45pm. Visit our website for further details and to book your place.
