We are sorry to hear you have troubles with your hands, unfortunately we aren’t able to advise on this, do get checked out by your GP first and then drop us an email, we may be able to suggest modifications to the work to make it easier for you. If you are unable to hold a knife steady you do risk injury and in these circumstances we do not recommend you enrol.

Carving is a very physical art and this may aggravate existing health issues.

Unfortunately we do only allow one person per login, we encourage your friend / family member to sign up to enable them to receive personal support from skot in the community.
