About Us
What we are all about
SA Woodcarving Academy was established in 1986 by Adelaide’s most passionate woodcarver.
SA Woodcarving Academy provides a very pleasant and convenient place to learn the art of Woodcarving.
In fact our bright, well-lit and airconditioned studio is just minutes from the city, at St Peters. Class sizes are limited to 12 students, which guarantees plenty of personal instruction, in a friendly environment.
Our classes are held continuously throughout the year, so you can start whenever it suits you.
A beginners kit and use of all tools are included.
All classes have been designed for people with little or no experience.
Your Instructor Ken Vear (The last apprentice in Adelaide) has been involved in woodcarving for over forty years.
Ken’s apprenticeship in 1965 was with Norman Turner & Nottage Pty Ltd. Adelaide. In 1975 he ventured out on his own commissions and began teaching at T.A.F.E. colleges. His knowledge & love of woodcarving led him to start conducting private classes which have steadily grown in popularity.
Anyone can join a woodcarving class! |
