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.

Anita reviewed: Whittling for beginners with experienced teacher.

"This course was absolutely brilliant! I attended see with my son and we both had a brilliant day. Almut is an excellent teacher and seemed to effortlessly manage teaching a child alongside adults. We learnt loads but it was relaxed and enjoyable and Almut is very hospitable. This has also created a new hobby for me which I can enjoy with my son. Highly recommended. "

"Fantastic couple of days. Almut was really knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Learnt a lot of techniques and has inspired me to do more carving. I came with my own design ideas and Almut helped me turn them into reality."

Almut Woolard responded:

"I loved your design idea. The finished carving is impressive. Happy carving, Almut"
