Basic and advanced courses of woodcarving

After 5 days of intensive work but also some fun and cultural life, you will leave the course with a couple of final products made with your own hands. The beginners will get in short the instructions about wood, tools, sharpening, labour protection etc, and start to carve simple objects. The advanced sudents continue in compliance with the level of their experience.

Puppet creation and technology

In 5 days you will learn basic skills how to sculpt a head and hands, paint and dress a puppet.

Marionette creation and technology

In 5 days you will learn basic skills how to sculpt a head and hands and learn how to assemble and operate a string (or other type) marionette.


For theatre companies we can also prepare a workshop made-to-measure, where you can create your own project with a help of professional puppetmakers. For 3-5 participants. Price depending on complexity of project.


Material in the form of semi-products is provided for all the types of courses and is included in the price of the course.
For the beginners we borrow a set of chisels or we can give an advice by e-mail how and where to order the top-quality tools before the course starts.
