Maker's bio

With over 20 years of teaching experience I love sharing my skills and learn from my students. My own artistic work is inspired by the ever-changing and evolving forms in nature and the seasons. Animals and the development of plant forms, are a constant inspiration for me. Working wood with traditional hand tools and techniques is a very rewarding experience. Each piece of wood is different and carving is an inspiring conversation with a unique piece of living material.

"Second visit to Almuts course and loved it again. A gift from my husband this time. She is so knowledgeable and calm I find the day slips away as I am so engrossed in gently carving wood. Highly recommend this course "
