SUMMARY:Drawing and Carving Acanthus with Jock Holmen
DESCRIPTION:This class runs Wednesdays\, October 21-November 18\, 6-9 pm each session. \n\nNorwegian-style acanthus carvings are familiar to many appreciators of traditional Norwegian buildings\, wooden ware\, and other folk art—but before you can carve it\, you have to be able to draw it! Join woodcarver Jock Holmen for a five-week class to learn the basic “alphabet” of Norwegian carving\, first through drawing and then with chisels and gouges. Understanding how larger decorative carvings can be broken into individual components allows anyone to approach a new project with both precision and creativity. Throughout the five sessions\, this class will focus on design\, shape\, and basic building blocks to give students the tools to further their carving practice. \nAdditional information: \n\nAdvanced registration required.\nA $10 materials fee is payable to the instructor. Students also provide some of their own tools; view the materials list here. \n\n  \nPrerequisites \n\nPhysical ability: Wood carving requires average hand strength and dexterity\, such as being able to open a pickle jar.\nSkill level: Open to all skill levels.\nAges: Suitable for ages 18+.
