Silhouette sculptures

Weekly course all day

Target Audience:

Beginners and advanced

Content:

Following a sketch, the rough outline of the sculpture is cut out of the wooden planks or boards. The surface is then worked and shaped using a chainsaw and carving iron. Relief carving techniques are used here. Under expert guidance, great objects are created for the garden, for fences or also for interiors, e.g. as room dividers etc. Depending on taste and personal style, naturalistic or abstract motifs (people, animals, ornaments, florals) can be chosen.
