Whittling Wood Taster with Ron at Calme - Tuesday 13th October 6.30pm-8.30pm

Come Whittle With Us 🪵

A Whittling Taster session with Ron

Tuesday 13th October | 6:30pm–8:30pm | £19

Where I come from in Yorkshire, to “whittle” can also mean to worry or fret about something.

And I rather love the idea that, for a couple of hours, you can put those whittles down… and pick up a piece of wood instead.

Come and join Ron at Calme Nest for a relaxed two-hour taster session introducing you to the traditional craft of hand whittling.

This is about letting your guard down, trying something you may never have done before and giving your mind something completely different to concentrate on.

Ron will guide you through the basics, including using the tools safely, understanding the wood and its grain, and learning some of the simple cuts used to begin shaping a piece of wood by hand.

Absolutely no experience is needed. You don’t even need to think of yourself as particularly creative. Just come along, have a go, enjoy a cuppa and spend a couple of hours doing something with your hands.

All tools and materials are provided, and you’ll create your own little hand-whittled piece to take home.

Sometimes keeping our hands busy gives our heads a little rest.

And if you’re going to whittle, let’s whittle something worth keeping. 🪵❤️
