Este curso é uma abordagem criativa à talha em madeira como meio de expressão pessoal e artística.
Introduction to Woodcarving Workshop, with Kerstin Thomas and Renato Costa e Silva, was designed for those who want to give wings to this dream, try something new, and give form to a piece of wood. With mallet and gouges in your hand, you will start to exercise to be able, on the second day, to carve small reliefs in chestnut wood.
At the end of the course, you will take home an excellent piece resulting from this dialogue, your creativity, and the learning experience this course has given you.
