Recent reviews of Small Animal Carving Workshop
- 5/5 from Willemijn Passtoors, attended Jun 2026: This was so much fun. It was intense, but in a pretty relaxing way. I learned a lot, met some amazing people, and have a cute little wombat who only needs some more sanding (I focused on the carving during the class). Teachers are lovely and very helpful, can't wait to do it again!
- 5/5 from Jill Fernandes, attended Jun 2026: Amazing class - so relaxing and enjoyable! The teachers were very patient and encouraging. I'm inspired to carve more animals!
- 5/5 from Roy Sargent, attended May 2026: Great class! Allowed people to go at own pace and provided advice, assistance and examples as needed. Looking forward to other classes. Such a relaxing activity to whittle.
- 4/5 from Sharnelle Sharma, attended Feb 2026: Great fun morning! Easy to follow instructions with support /teaching where required but not overbearing and allowed for a lot of creativity/ individuality
- 5/5 from Olga Barlehis, attended Jan 2026: I had a great time at this wood carving workshop! It was my first time carving, and the instructors were incredibly friendly and helpful—I learned so much. I loved that you can choose what to make, whether it’s something practical like a spoon or bowl, or something more adventurous like a small animal. It was a lot of fun from start to finish, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone curious about wood carving.
- 5/5 from Rachel Turner, attended Nov 2025: This was a great class and I think that anyone who does it would love it! Our teachers were warm, attentive and interesting. There was ample time to complete our project. I look forward to booking in for another class!
- 5/5 from Michelle Daley, attended Aug 2025: What a wonderful class. Catie and Steve were so welcoming and helpful to and we created amazing pieces of art to take home.
Your teacher
Using traditional tools and methods for creating is important to us, and passing on these skills is our passion. We have always been the types of people who would prefer to make something with our hands than to buy off the shelf. Sometimes there is nothing better than making with your own hands. We focus our workshops on the mindfulness of traditional making, and finding the technique that works for each person. Regardless if it is woodworking or leatherwork, we focus on teaching traditional ways to create. We find joy each time one of our workshop participants is beaming with pride when they step back and see what they have made.Sustainability is also an important component of what we do. The timber we use is sustainably sourced from small, local timber suppliers. Our leather is sourced right here in Brisbane, where they have developed sustainable practices to produce Vegtan leather.
