Woodcarving Workshop with Fine Woodworker and Furniture Designer Moa Brännström Ott. In conjunction with the exhibition INNER CHILD – Playing with Design, we invite you to a creative woodcarving workshop with fine woodworker and woodcarver Moa Brännström Ott. Here, you’ll get to try your hand at the basics of woodcarving and discover the joy of transforming a piece of wood into something of your own. During the workshop, we’ll explore wood, form, and function. Using a knife as our tool, we’ll explore the material and let the form emerge. Maybe it’ll be a spoon, a butter knife, or something entirely different.

Wednesday, Nov. 18, 5:00–8:30 p.m.
