• Requirement: None • Training Methodology: interactive course • Duration:1 session of 3.5 hours • Levels: Beginner – Insider • Age Limit: from 15 • Number of participants: from 2 to 8 pers. • Training cost: 110 €/Pers.
Description:
This training aims at giving you the theoretical knowledge on wood and its derivatives, as well as the basic tools to follow our training on woodworking. We gather the necessary theoretical knowledge to allow you evolving in autonomy on the approach of the material, the purchase of wood and the basic notions to know for woodworking.
Planning:
•Wood anatomy: macroscopic study of wood / physical properties and influencing factors / mechanical properties. • Wood harvesting and cutting / drying and storage of wood / purchasing information (certifications / label / suppliers / commercial dimensions and wood classes). • Identification of anomalies, defects, wood pests and treatments. • Wood selection and cutting process. • Identification of common European wood species. • Structure and use of wood derivatives.
• Requirement: Knowledge about wood – basic concepts (recommended) • Training Methodology: interactive course / Experiential learning • Duration:1 session of 4 hours • Levels: Beginner – Insider • Age Limit: from 15 • Number of participants: from 3 to 8 pers. • Training cost: 320 €/Pers.
Description:
This course is an extension of the wood knowledge course and is intended for beginner in woodworking. Together, we will learn the steps and methods for making straight cuts with a handsaw, taking and reporting dimensions accurately, marking out wood pieces (tools and methods) and using basic woodworking tools (plane – chisel – scraper – sandpaper). Initiated people can also follow this course to dust off or update their knowledge.
Planning:
• Lexicon and basic woodworking techniques (working with a square, taking dimensions, tips & tricks …) • Cutting with a saw (square cut). • Notions about maintenance and care of tools, in complete safety. • Making a ground surface with a chisel. • Making a ground surface with a hand plane. • Making a molding by hand. • Use and study of scraper shapes. • Abrasives: Composition, characteristics and packaging.
• Requirement: Wood basic concepts (optional) – Wood techniques (optional) • Training Methodology: Experiential learning. • Duration:1 session of 3 hours • Levels: Beginner – Insider • Age Limit: from 15 • Number of participants: from 3 to 7 pers. • Training cost: 185 €/Pers.

Description:
Together, we will learn the basics of wood carving through the creation of a small “welcome” sign / wall key ring. Wood carving, handling of carving tools, carving methodology and engraving will be experienced throughout this course, with the fabrication of this object. The goal of this training is to give you a taste for the world of carving by providing you the fundamental bases of this art.
Planning:
• Work with gouge and chisel • Techniques of cutting / striking / engraving and modelling of bas-relief. • Woodworking process and carving / holding cutting tools. • Setting up the preparatory phases and techniques for clamping the pieces. • Fabrication of ornamental sculptures and engraving on a solid wood sign • Basic knowledge of carving techniques and safety
• Requirement: Wood carving basic training course – Wood basic concepts (recommended) • Training Methodology: Interactive course / Experiential learning • Duration:1 session of 8 hours • Levels: Insider – Advanced • Age Limit: from 15 • Number of participants: from 2 to 6 pers. • Training cost: 485 €/Pers.
Description:
This training is a continuation of our basic training course. You will perfect your wood carving technique by creating a high-relief jewelry box in lime wood. We will study the creation of volume from drawings and/or models with a practical application on a solid wood piece. We work with new techniques and tools (sculptor’s scrapers, pocket-eyes, sandblasters…) to accentuate the volumes and perfect your sculptures. Our training aims at developing your learning autonomy to allow you practicing and progressing by yourself.
Planning:
• Fabrication of a jewelry box with a scallop shell shape. • Texturing and finishing techniques. • Techniques for hollowing out the wood and setting up the volume. • Isostatic positioning (clamping) of the pieces to be carved.
• Requirement: Wood carving – In-depth training course & description of the project • Training Methodology: Project-based training session. • Duration:1 session = 3 hours • Levels: Insider – Advanced – Expert • Age Limit: from 15 • Number of participants: from 2 to 8 pers. • Training cost: Annual membership of 210 €/Pers + 80 €/Pers/Session.
Description:
These training sessions will allow you creating a sculpture of your own design. We provide advice, knowledge and know-how to allow you concretizing your project. These sessions allow trainees to evolve independently while benefiting from regular coaching.
Planning:
• Accompaniment in the conception of the project. • Technical advice on the preparatory work and personalized coaching to help in the production of the final piece. • Group exchange on current projects, techniques and local suppliers. • Provision of tooling/machine for sharpening. • Coaching in the use of tools • Provision of an adapted space.
Note: Cost of raw material not included. Supply of raw material possible at a professional rate.
Interactive teaching: Interactive teaching allows teaching by actively involving trainees in the learning processes through regular instructor/learner and learner/learner interactions. This method focuses on the understanding and meaning of the course content as opposed to merely memorizing them by rote. Learners are constantly encouraged to be active participants.
Experiential learning: Experiential learning is a learning approach through experience, which directly places learners in situations that reflect reality. This approach is based on the learning process rather than on the results (concrete experimentation, reflective observation). The instructor adapts to the learner’s level. The learner will make the group progress by being actively involved in the training and by sharing experiences. This training approach aims to promote the development of learners’ autonomy.
Project-based training: The learner produces his own work project at his own pace, independently. The instructor is present to accompany the learner when he/she encounters difficulties and provides support, advice or suggestions for experimentation to move forward in the project. The goal is to equip the learner with methods, techniques and knowledge so that he/she can accurately analyze and evaluate the production process of his/her project and solve problems with flexibility.
