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 visit whilst 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.

Please contact me to discuss arrangements.
