Venue: Ennistymon Community Centre, Co. Clare

Sharpening is an absolutely essential skill. It’s a lost art. It takes a bit of mastering but its ultimately fairly simple and everyone should be able to do it. This class is good for everybody because we all use knives on a daily basis, not just wood carvers. I will cover the method for wood carving tools and kitchen knives. You can provide a sharpening kit, including a high-quality two-sided sharpening stone, a non-slip mat, a leather strop and some honing compound. You bring a dull knife!
