In this class we will learn wood carving with a focus on 3D forms for sculpture or furniture embellishment. We will work in Bass wood and cover all of the tricks and techniques for making a block of wood into a realistic representation of something else. We will learn how to use and sharpen knives and gouges and how to shape and add texture with rasps, files and rotary tools.
Open to all levels.
