Austrian Woodcarving Weeks 2026
Austrian Woodcarving Weeks 2026
This year we again offer the opportunity to join the Austrian Woodcarving Weeks from the the 10th of October until the 24th of October 2026
Spend your carving holiday in the wonderful Alpine landscape of the Lech Valley and improve your carving skills. During our daytrip together with the non-carvers, you will learn a lot about the surrounding and traditions of the area.
New!!! You can either carve or do modelling both weeks or mix and match with other courses!
In October you have the following opportunities beside carving and modelling:
during the first week: Chainsaw carving
during the second week: Bronze casting or Wood turning
Sounds interesting? Some of the courses can also be done 2 ½ days so you could carve 1 ½ week and test something new for half a week. Just let us know if you are interested in mixing courses and we will help you find the best way to combine it.
