Would you like help and guidance
with your Woodcarving?
As the group leader, for that
special event in your club diary,
why not bring your group to our studio to carve here together in tranquil
Devon as a relaxing change from your usual venue? We are delighted to
arrange facilities for carving and turning clubs or any other groups and
can arrange one day, weekend or several days, with all abilities catered for,
and with accommodation if desired. With Zoe's help, work
on an ongoing project or begin a new one, and return home
with renewed inspiration and enthusiasm for your woodcarving,
as well as having an enjoyable social gathering here in
Devon.
"Whiddon Carvers was formed in 2003 after the adult
education class we attended lost its venue. Having found and set up another
workshop, we became a self supporting club. However after a time we missed the
tuition we had enjoyed previously. Now attending Zoe Gertner for tuition a few
times a year, we have gained so much. Zoe's expertise means that everyone is
quickly working with purpose; she has such a good eye for seeing what needs to
be done, and draws us together to share teaching points so that we come away
with renewed enthusiasm and determination to return to her well - appointed
workshop before too long."

The Whiddon
Woodcarving Club returned for another
enjoyable session.
Non carving partners are welcome - there are many
local places to visitwhilst you are busy in the studio and then meet up later in the evening.
We arrange well-equipped workbench space and vices for groups of up to ten people
and can usually provide full accommodation in the Farmhouse or nearby, enabling
you to concentrate on your carving and lose yourselves in the heart of Devon's
unspoilt countryside. We offer special rates for groups of 4 or more.
A popular choice especially with USA, Canadian and other overseas groups is to alternate carving and
sightseeing days thus making the most of your time in the West Country during your
stay in Britain. Bristol, Exeter with its direct flights from Canada and Newquay Airports are within easy driving
distance, all offering car hire facilities. We can collect you from the airport
if need be.
