Wood Carving Classes & Workshops
Calvo Wood Carving School in Massachusetts is the finest school on the east coast dedicated to the art and skill of wood carving. Our wood carving classes, workshops and seminars for the beginner and intermediate student will give you a strong baseline in the fundamentals of carving that can be applied to any style of wood carving design whether it is abstract, traditional or contemporary.
The teaching style I use is the same as my wood carving teachers who were European trained. I train both your hands to carve and your eyes to see so that you can map your way into a project. It is my goal and hopeful intentions to get you to move beyond your personal expectation and carve wood with more confidence and most importantly, a sense of what to do next. In all my years of teaching and training I have often found that it is the student that limits themselves. To my delight, and consistently on the final day of the workshop, it is usually the student who is pleasantly surprised with their own results. All I ask is that you bring your enthusiasm and nothing more. As the teacher, it's my problem to figure out how to teach you wood carving... so take a deep breath, relax and enjoy learning the skill of wood carving.
All five-day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshops start at 9:00am and run until 5:30pm. Pre-registration is required. We are happy to assist you with your housing needs. Our area, known as Picturesque Cape Ann, is a tourist destination point so we have excellent local accommodations. The Wood Carving School is in easy driving range from New York, New York City, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New Jersey and Massachusetts areas.
