Woodcarving - For centuries, part of the tradition in Val Gardena
The farm owner and host Elmar will be happy to introduce you to the art of wood carving during your stay at the Apartments Tiscion
The sculptor Elmar
Elmar, the farmer and landlord, practised carving already as an infant, because his father worked as a freelance woodcarver.
After completing his education, he worked for several years as a hand carver in a prestigious company in Val Gardena. As he was 28, he took the plunge into self-employment. Since then, he has worked in his atelier at the farm. He has specialised in nativity scenes and animal figures.
Feel free to get to know better this wonderful and unique profession by watching Elmar carve.
