Once finished, the bowl fits neatly into the maker\u2019s palm and is well suited for drinking fine mead or enjoying a hearty spoonful of porridge.<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"347\" data-end=\"581\">The bowl will be shaped on site with axe, chisel, and knife under the guidance of <strong data-start=\"429\" data-end=\"451\">Master Roland Burk<\/strong>. Having spent many years learning the craft from a skilled master, he now gladly shares his knowledge with all who wish to learn.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"724\">Woodworking is a pleasantly calming pursuit, and any meal enjoyed from a practical object made by one\u2019s own hands is all the more satisfying.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"753\"><strong data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"741\">Instructor:<\/strong> Roland Burk<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"758\" \/>\n<h4 data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"796\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"796\">16:00\u201317:30 \u2014 Wax Carving I<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"1199\">All metal casting begins with wax. First, a wax model is created and covered with moulding material such as clay or plaster. The mould is then dried, and the wax melted away, leaving a cavity into which molten metal is poured. This technique, known as <strong data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1069\">lost-wax casting<\/strong>, has been used for nearly 4,000 years. Though materials and tools have changed over time, the craft itself remains much the same.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1532\">In this workshop, participants will use the provided tools and materials to create a wax model for a piece of jewellery or a small household object. The workshop lasts up to one and a half hours, depending on the wishes of the participants.
