Wood Comes Alive: Carving Course with Thomas Rees at WaldHaus Freiburg

When rough trunk sections and sturdy branches reveal their hidden form under expert guidance, a special event experience unfolds at WaldHaus Freiburg. In the one-and-a-half-day workshop Carving Wooden Sculptures with Thomas Rees, participants aged 16 and over will work on their own sculpture in the cozy green wood workshop.

The Creative Journey Begins in the Material

Gnarled wood, striking grain patterns, and natural irregularities set the pace. Thomas Rees accompanies the course as an experienced wood sculptor from Freiburg, providing immediate access to working with the material wood. The result emerges step by step from the character of the respective trunk or branch.

Craftsmanship, Nature, and Free Design

The workshop combines artistic practice with focused manual work. Saws, carving knives, and the individual structure of the wood determine the creation process. Wood will be provided on site, and participants may also bring their own material. This way, each sculpture receives a personal touch.

Thomas Rees and the Art from Tree Stories

Since the early 1990s, Thomas Rees has been working with wood and frequently develops installations in direct dialogue with nature, location, and material. His works are created spontaneously and intuitively; the story of a tree remains as a visible trace. The Freiburg artist is known, among other things, for large-scale wooden sculptures and installations in public spaces.

Workshop Atmosphere at WaldHaus

The event planning focuses on an intensive, hands-on experience in a relaxed atmosphere. Amidst the scent of wood, the sounds of tools, and a concentrated audience mood, a creative space is created for people who want to try their hand at sculpture or deepen their craft skills.
