workshops: form and design

Wood Art

We intend to progressively acquire knowledge related to wood, carving skills and the study of three-dimensional form. Bringing students closer to contemporary art and stimulating them to maintain an active position in the exploration of new possibilities offered by the creation in wood.

The pace of learning will be adapted to the characteristics of the students.
