Woodcarving in general is a craft technique of shaping wood by carving decorative or functional motifs. In Slovenia, it has a long tradition, especially in the Gorenjska, Štajerska, and Ribnica regions, where it developed alongside carpentry and woodenware production. It was often present in sacred art, in the making of wooden statues, altars, and decorative furniture elements. Today, woodcarving is preserved both as an artistic and a craft practice, with many artisans combining traditional and modern techniques. Craft workshops, museums, and folk art festivals play an important role in preserving this heritage. The carving of moulds for pressing out dough for small bread is a particular feature of Škofja Loka and its surroundings.
