CUT A PATTERN

Would you like to explore the traditional and creative art of pattern cutting carvsection? - So join us on a journey to the more artistic part of the cutting world when we hold a brand new course format in decorative pattern cutting.

The course provides an introduction to the traditional craft of carving patterns, words or images into wood. The ancient art - also called karvsnit or scureut - can be used to decorate just about anything in wood - from grandma's old jewelry box to your favorite spoon or stool. You can also venture into the art of printing images with pattern relief, just as we know it from linoleum printing. It's pretty much just the imagination that sets the limits.

During the course you will be introduced to various drawing pricips, tools and special relief sectioning techniques. We start from scratch so that everyone can join - beginner as practiced. During the course, we will review, for example, which techniques are used to achieve a relief effect and pattern-forming play between light and shadow, which knife is best for which patterns and which types of wood work best for this type of cutting art.

Cut material (wood) will be handed out at the start of the course, but if you have something (in wood) that you would like to decorate, feel free to bring it.

A special cutting knife can be purchased at the end of the course. So you can move on at home.
