Monday to Saturday
I will introduce you to woodcarving with taster projects that will enable you to carve a relief,
a dish, and a simple 3D object. With this experience you can then develop your own projects. In addition,
we can shape wood with a spokeshave, make joints with chisels and bore holes with a brace and bit -
processes which can lead to sculptural pieces that are constructed, as well as carved. I will supply
the tools, demonstrate techniques, and demonstrate how to keep your tools razor sharp.
I will charge for wood used in the taster projects and have available wood to purchase for your own projects. If you have them do, of course, bring your own tools, and any special piece of wood you want to carve.

Jeremy Turner now focuses on his own artwork using relief carving as his medium, and since setting up his
carving business in 1985, he has completed many public art commissions, such as commemorative panels for
schools, signage for hospitals, and village signs. He has supplied shops and galleries with carved woodware,
and has created house signs, headboards and commemorative objects for many private clients. During 2007 he
exhibited at the White Wall, in the Centre MK, and put on a solo show at Stantonbury Gallery, Milton Keynes
. Outside his workshop he teaches woodcarving in Adult Education and has delivered many carving projects
