With guidance from your tutor, you may select a piece of wood from our available stock. There is no longer a supplementary fee for materials; these are now included in the course fee.
City Lit will provide the necessary tools, though you might consider purchasing rifflers (small files) to achieve finer details. If you're interested in acquiring your own set of woodcarving tools, we will provide supplier recommendations during the course.
Please ensure you wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring old work clothes or overalls for safety and comfort.
