Special Course: Woodsculpting

TA

Our course participants very much appreciate the profound accompanying theory lessons. In the past, however, we have repeatedly been approached with the wish to receive this training without combining it with a practical course.

HN

The form, sized of 80 to 120 cm, will we roughed out. Afterward the chisels and mallet will be used or you work on the surface structure with rasp and sanding tools.

HP

In this course you will be introduced to design of a nude in wood and will achieve a solid draft considering anatomy, proportion and composition.

HO

You will learn the technique of portraiture step by step: from designing to modeling to realization in wood.

HE

Together with your instructor you will search for interesting pieces of driftwood along the banks of the Lech River and other wild streams which will be used in the courses.

HG

In this course we take the time to elaborate expressive elements of the human depiction more precisely.

HF

After a sketch, the rough outlines of the sculpture are cut out of the wooden planks or boards. The surface is then worked and shaped with the chainsaw and the carving iron.

Die Totemkultur der indigenen Völker fasziniert durch ihre Naturverbundenheit und Symbolik. Vor dem Hintergrund traditioneller Formen entwickeln Sie ein individuelles Totem, das auf Ihrer Geschichte und Ihren persönlichen Ideen basiert. Die grobe Form wird dann mit der Kettensäge herausgearbeitet.

Carving or Sculpting?

The main focus of our woodsculpting courses is on the development and formulating ones own ideas and drafts, which will then be made into real wooden objects. In our woodcarving classes we provide the sound skills of wood handicraft in order to be able to reproduce given references and models utilizing the carving chisels.
