Learn to Carve Academy

Kia ora! Welcome to Learn to Carve Academy.

I'm Anselm from Aotearoa NZ—with over 35 years mastering wood, bone, stone & shell carving. Self-taught through the old ways, guided by true old-school masters who shared lifetimes of knowledge passed down through trial and error.

Here you'll find step-by-step tutorials on traditional Māori whakairo (koru, manaia, tiki, waka, marae designs with full kōrero, spiritual meanings & tikanga), contemporary styles, fantasy creatures, nature scenes, birds, animals, sea life—literally anything you can imagine.
