Franz Josef wood carving workshop
Funding from the Creative Communities scheme has helped support a series of five wood carving workshops in Franz Josef this winter.
The turnout was great, all ten spots were filled each week, and feedback from both the attendees and tutor was so positive. What great talent there is in the Franz Josef community!
The Franz Josef Community Council now owns some great tools which can be used for future workshops. Ideas for a follow-up on this workshop to be held next winter have already been pitched.
Tutor Cliff Goodwin shares, “So I tried something new and ran a five-week series of carving workshops. I was approached by the community council asking to see if keen to help organize this as they have some funding for health and well-being. They thought this idea would fit. After two years and lots of hard work from the community council team, it got off the ground. It was a total hit lots of fun had by all. Hoping to get asked to do another next winter.” You can find out more about Cliff’s work on his Facebook page.
