Try wood carving – Christmas theme

Try your hand at carving fresh wood and create something for Christmas – perhaps a decoration for the tree or a handmade Christmas gift?

At Nyborg in Nordanå, Skellefteå Museum’s building conservation specialists will introduce you to the basics of wood carving and guide you as you work. We will be working with fresh wood and traditional hand tools, including carving knives, drawknives, shaving horses and chopping blocks. As we are working with fresh wood, you can start a piece during the evening and finish it at home or at another carving session.

Materials and tools are available to borrow, and you are welcome whether you are a complete beginner or have previous experience.

Free admission. Please arrive at the start of the session so that everyone can take part in the introduction. Suitable for ages 12 and up.

Welcome!
