NETSUKE CARVING 
​– SOLD OUT! if you would like to go on the waiting list please add your email below and click 'ADD TO WAITING LIST' 
This workshop will be based on a set project that explores the Japanese art of Netsuke carving.

Netsuke are very small carvings that are traditionally worn above the Obi (belt) in Japanese culture. They often depict animals, people etc and can be origin points in stories, humorous depictions, and demonstrate personal taste of the wearer.
​
In this Netsuke (pronounced net skay or net ski) workshop participants will carve a netsuke mushroom, and will learn many traditional netsuke techniques such as himotoshi, inlay, and ukibori. All levels

​
As a sculptor and jeweller I have been working for many years refining a language in shape and form that reflects my deep connection to the natural world. Our relationship to it is at the heart of all my enquiries and my work is a reflection on the spiritual connection humans have to all ecology.
 
My work demonstrates the development of this language through the mediums of wood, stone and precious metals.
