Five-Day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshop
We have a lot of fun but this is an intensive workshop to give the beginner enthusiast a solid foundation in woodcarving. No matter what your carving style preference, you need to know these fundamentals of carving technique and you need to know them well. In athletic sports (I consider woodcarving part sport) there is training in body mechanics. The importance of body mechanics is akin to a tennis player who has trained his volley to be "on point" with both efficency and grace. He then takes great pleasure in volleying the ball back and forth across the net. The same is true for a woodcarver with carving tool in hand. This is the romance of the skill. Hence, what I teach are those important things to encourage your interest and desire in carving. There are equivalents to this in woodcarving that are "absolute necessities" that you will learn in my school too. So to be frank, this is a serious beginners training to make you a better woodcarver so that your creative dreams can come true.
