I’m just back home after a fantastic weekend at Greenwood Days near Derby. Yesterday I had a group with me learning to make fan birds which is a great project for beginners looking to start wood carving or more experienced carvers who want a new, fun project.
I’m teaching another fan bird carving course at GWD again on 12th June 2022, book your place here and learn a new craft.
Starting with a single piece of wood, we shaped, split and fanned the feathers to create some beautiful birds. I was really impressed with everyone’s work and it’s always a treat to be there for the proud and happy moment when students have their first successes.
