School carve up

[Bob Willson]

Can anybody recommend a school for wood carving in Brisbane?
My Nephew-in-law wants to learn some basic sculpting and carving skills.

i thought that you may have had at least 1 reply on this by now
i cant help with qld carvers
but i can give advise
a good begginers set of chisels (pfeil $150)
a good book on carving (many to choose from)
a little patience
i found that if you want to carve something
just give it a go
and you find the bit of timber in front of you slowly changing into the shape or thing you are trying to carve
dont go like a bull at a gate
carving takes time
hope this helps
cheers

You could try the woodcrafters club on Bribie Island.

Sorry I haven't answered before, I have been away for a while.

Thanks multinut, I will give him your advice.
Thanks also to you schaf, I will advise him of the school.
