Woodcarving has long been used to bring depth, movement and ornament to furniture and architectural work. In this masterclass, Georgy Metichian will demonstrate the techniques used by traditional carvers to shape decorative forms directly into timber.
Through a combination of demonstration and explanation, participants will be introduced to carving tools, pattern development and the process of building form through controlled cuts. The session offers a close-up view of how carving evolves from flat surface to finished detail.
Georgy Metichian is a master carver with extensive experience in historic woodcarving and restoration. His work reflects a deep understanding of traditional techniques and their application within furniture and architectural contexts.
