SCULPTURE WORKSHOP/WOOD CARVING

The sculpture workshop is the oldest and a regular part of the Sajeta festival program. We explore, create and continue to work with material which is often neglected in the contemporary sculpture worldwide — WOOD. We discover the unlimited laws, capacities, and possibilities of WOOD as well as ourselves.
You will have the chance to make a unique gift for yourself or perhaps for your friends. Although the basic tools will be provided by the instructor, it is recommended to bring also your own wood-carving tools (saws, chisels, files, carving tools etc.). Wood is provided.
