“There was a time when love was carved into wood. A small amulet worn close to the heart. A shape that fits into another. A symbol carried through seasons and stories.”
———
In this workshop, you will carve your own love amulet —
a piece of wood shaped by your hands and your story.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This workshop is for you if you are 10 years or older, and:
- you are curious about traditional woodcarving with natural materials.
- you wish to create a meaningful gift for someone you love: partner, family, friend or maybe for your pet!
- you want to shape something that carries memory and intention.
Couples, friends, siblings, and kindred spirits are especially welcome—you may create matching or interlocking pendants.
WHAT WE WILL DO
During this 2-hour woodcarving session, you will create a carved wooden amulet.
Your piece may be:
- a simple and minimal pendant.
- a carved heart with hidden symbolism.
- marked with runes or personal signs.
- or a two-part amulet designed to fit into another.
We will work with traditional hand tools and natural materials.
The goal is not perfection — but presence, intention, and meaning.
If you have a special request, or prefers to carve something else—such as a wand—feel free to reach out beforehand.
ABOUT ME
I am Marcello: woodcarving artist, restorer, and teacher working alongside my furry friend and colleague, Kifli.
I was always amazed by the magical essence of old stories, the heroic act of characters, the spirit of fantastic creatures, and the beauty of nature—and found my own in the grain of wood. So, I began to carve it.
After all, what are we, if not the stories we create? How else can we truly connect, if not through the stories we choose to share?

"There was a time when love was carved to outlast time itself.
Perhaps it still can be.
Where shall we start carving yours?"
NATURALLY — WHOLEHEARTEDLY — JOINTLY
