Lizzy has many years of woodcarving experience, having originally studied the craft at a specialist woodcarving school in Finland. Lizzy bought her woodworking expertise back to the UK, where she has worked on exquisite high end projects for well known fine furniture companies.

  • Introduction to chisels and gouges for woodcarving.

  • Techniques for successful chiseling and carving.

  • Demonstrations on how to achieve different aesthetic effects and textures in your work.
