About Kathmandu Wood Carving Experience – Learn Traditional Craft
Wood carving is one of the oldest and most meaningful traditional art of Nepal. It has been a part of Nepalese people for many decades. In Nepal, mainly inside the Kathmandu valley, varieties of wood carvings can be seen on temples, old houses, windows, doors, and palaces, with different designs and separate meanings for each.
These carvings are not only decorations. They tell the stories about religion, nature, and daily life of people, showing the skills and creativity of local people. In wood carving a plain wood is turned into detailed and attractive designs step by step.
The artists use patience, care, and experience passed down from their ancestors. In this activity, we make sure that you properly learn about traditional wood carving tools and techniques, as well as the meaning of different patterns and symbols used in Nepalese wood carving and its importance in Nepal. Protecting Nepal’s culture and traditions is one of the importance of wood carving.
It also shows the creative art of local artists while keeping the handmade skills alive. This experience is very calming, interesting, and educational. Joining this workshop will allow you to enjoy the beauty of Nepalese traditional handmade art, learn about Nepalese tradition and culture, and take home a deeper memory of your visit to Nepal.
At the end of the session, you can take away the wooden piece they have personally carved as a souvenir.
