Maker's bio

With over 20 years of teaching experience I love sharing my skills and learn from my students. My own artistic work is inspired by the ever-changing and evolving forms in nature and the seasons. Animals and the development of plant forms, are a constant inspiration for me. Working wood with traditional hand tools and techniques is a very rewarding experience. Each piece of wood is different and carving is an inspiring conversation with a unique piece of living material.

Mark reviewed: Carve your own picture-relief, with experienced woodcarving teacher in Devon

"I really enjoyed this course. Almut's instruction and guidance were excellent and she was very patient with me as I got to grips with the basics of wood carving. She was very encouraging and she kindly shared her knowledge, skills and expertise with me. I was able to work at my own pace and with Almut's timely input and suggestions, I was able to create a carving that I was really pleased with. It was a truly wonderful day, thank you for a great experience Almut."
