Two Sessions: Sundays April 28 and May 5

Using basic tools and techniques, learn hand-held carving, including shaping, detailing and whittling. Understand basic approaches to full round and relief mode, paving the way to create decorative elements for furniture and small sculptural objects. Choose a small project to finish in the workshop or at home. Bring your own tools (basic carving knife, 3 blades), or purchase a kit and wood in class. Instructor: Peter Thibeault.
