Thanks very much for getting in touch!
I'...Hi,<br />Thanks very much for getting in touch!<br /><br />I've seen Jesus Sierra's work before and he can certainly carve well. He also has a good knowledge of timbers. Nic, who works with him, came on a course that I ran a couple of years ago at St Werburghs too. I don't know anyone who has studied with him, so couldn't honestly say what his teaching style is like. <br /><br />With the feedback that I'm getting, I'm actually thinking of working towards setting up my own woodcarving tuition, although unfortunately I'm too busy with commissioned carving work to do regular sessions for a couple of months at least. But watch this space...<br /><br />Meanwhile, if you are prepared to travel a bit, I could recommend courses run by Zoe Gertner in Devon and Martin Turner 'At the sign of the parrot' in Dorset.<br /><br />For now, you might like to have look at some of the books in Bristol Central Library. There are some good ones in there to give you ideas and a headstart on techniques.<br /><br />All the best and good luck with your carving.<br />Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375556738066106681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525461965645261532.post-83766069168497750932013-03-11T06:57:54.064-07:002013-03-11T06:57:54.064-07:00Hi Can you recommend any courses yourself?
