Thursday 4th PM - Axe Carving Workshop with Raleigh Klotzek

SEK 450.00

A carving axe isn’t just a tool—it’s an extension of your rhythm, your timing, your intention. In this workshop, we’ll explore the foundations of safe, efficient, and expressive axe work. Whether you’re just picking up a carving axe for the first time or looking to refine your technique, this class will help you develop confidence and fluidity at the chopping block.

We’ll cover stance, grip, body mechanics, and controlled movements for rough shaping greenwood blanks. You’ll learn how to read the grain, plan your cuts, and bring a sense of flow and precision to your axe work. There will be plenty of hands-on time, guided practice, and tips to take with you into your own carving sessions.

No dance experience required =) —just a willingness to move, learn, and carve.

Raleigh speaks English and a little bit of Swedish.

If language is a barrier we are confident you will learn even if you speak or understand broken English. So much of the learning depends on seeing, feeling, and hearing the sounds as well.
