About this Carving Kit

This CARVING KIT has been created to accompany my CARVE A PUPPET FISH tutorial series. If you wish to take part in the tutorials, you will need to purchase one of these kits.

To find out more about the tutorials, you can watch VIDEO 1 below, or visit the FISH TUTORIALS PAGE.

VIDEO 1 shows you what is inside a carving kit, and talks you through the tools, paints and equipment that you will need to complete the project. There is also a KIT LIST to accompany the series, which you can download below.

This CARVING KIT contains:

• 2 x BODY CARVING BLANKS (cut from lime wood with profile view labels)

• Additional lime wood off-cuts (for extra carving practice)

• 1 x colour reference sheet

• 2 x pieces of coloured leather (for the tails and fins)

• 2 x sheets of white label templates (for cutting out the tails and fins)

• 2 x 15cm lengths of carbon fibre rod (for the controls)

• 1 x bag of sundry materials, including

  • 2 x dowel pieces with pre-drilled hole (for the control handles)

  • 2 x pairs of eyes on wire

Please note: the contents of your carving kit will come as pictured, but the packaging may vary. Leather pieces may also vary in exact colour/shade.

Recommended Participant Age: 16+

These tutorials are intended for ADULTS. They are not suitable for children as they involve the use of sharp equipment and epoxy glues. My carving kits are resources for adult learning. They are NOT intended as toys for children (and are not made to toy safety regulations). It is therefore your responsibility to supervise any child’s play with your finished puppet.
