Figurative Wood Carving

Course details

In this course, you will learn how to carve small-scale human figures, faces, as well as animal and nativity figures, working primarily with a carving knife.

In addition to creating miniatures, these methods are also ideally suited to developing sculptural ideas, as multiple design variations can be quickly carved in wood.

The pieces are carved while held in the hand, enabling each participant to continue practising what they have learned after the course – even without dedicated workshop space or a workbench. The figure is first laid out in its basic form and proportions, then gradually refined to its final, detailed shape using carving tools and a carving knife.

Instructor

Jörg Steinhauer

Whether he is building a surrealistic piece of furniture, carving a Gothic altar figure or making a commissioned work for the concept artist Jeff Koons – the qualified master cabinetmaker, master sculptor and handicrafts teacher explores the sculptural scope for design of wood material with enormous inquisitiveness and also exceeds the limit between art and handicraft. His courses are among the most popular courses offered at DICTUM!
