Wood carving workshop in Lisbon with Elfic Wood Works, a 2 -hour hands-on beginner session for groups of up to nine people led by Ricardo, a craftsman whose passion for natural materials and traditional woodworking techniques shapes everything he makes and teaches. Using softer woods including pine or alder, ideal for complete beginners, this is a creative and relaxed experience where every participant creates their own wooden piece from scratch with personalised guidance throughout. Available anywhere in the Lisbon district, at the beach, at your home or at any location of your choosing. Children welcome with those under 8 accompanied by a responsible adult. Minimum five days advance notice required to confirm the session.

The session opens with an introduction to essential carving tools and safety techniques before moving into the hands-on work, where each participant begins shaping their piece with Ricardo guiding every stage at their own pace. Softer woods make the carving process immediately accessible and satisfying, producing results that feel genuinely handcrafted from the very first session. The price covers the full group of up to nine people, making this an ideal creative activity for families, friend groups and anyone wanting a unique and memorable shared experience anywhere in Lisbon.

I am Ricardo, founder and craftsman behind Elfic Wood Works. My love for woodworking began with a simple appreciation for natural materials and the artistry behind custom-made furniture and décor, and over the years that passion evolved into a business dedicated to quality, detail and personalised service. For me woodworking is more than a profession. It is a way to turn ideas into meaningful pieces that people can enjoy for years to come, and this workshop is an extension of that same belief.

Group experience for up to 9 people. Location anywhere in the Lisbon district. Minimum 5 days advance notice required. Children welcome, under 8s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
