WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Relief is one of the main carving styles-others are chip and in-the-round.  The flower project is from May May's free video series and uses three basic carving gouges (V, #3, and #7) as well as a mallet.  It helps you learn yet again about grain training while helping you develop tool handling skills.

This workshop is for those who have never carved or want to try. You are provided with free wood, loaner tools, and pattern. During the class you will flower petal using basswood. If you've done this project, we'll select another, and if Basswood seems to simple, you can try a hardwood.

DATES/TIMES -  3 hours, date as noted

COST - free tuition, free wood, free loaner tools

WORKSHOP LEADER is Larry Wade, (503-312-7745, lpwade@gmail.com)
