This class will start out on a practice stick and learn the 3 primary cuts used when carving with a knife.
The first project will be a Santa Christmas Ornament. These are very popular with carvers, as they make great stocking stuffers! Students will be shown how to easily modify the blank to make a hillbilly or wizard. Each student will be given two blanks.
The second project will be an old shoe. This piece was chosen for its simplicity, yet will offer the beginner a challenge. This whimsical piece is very popular in the carving community. Many people will place it on the kitchen table and use it as a toothpick holder. It's approx. 3" long.
Each piece will include a pattern that the student can use to make additional pieces after the class is over.
