SUMMARY:(CANCELED) From Log to Cup: Carve a Kuksa Workshop with John Fleck
DESCRIPTION:This program has been canceled. \n\n\nThis class runs Saturday and Sunday\, August 1-2\, 9 am–5 pm both days. \n\nCarve your own wooden travel cup in the traditional Nordic green woodworking tradition. These durable\, hand-carved vessels\, typically made from renewable birch\, have a long and rich history. Whether simple in design or beautifully decorated\, they are versatile enough to serve as drinking cups\, bowls\, and scoops. In this two-day class\, students will dive into the history and significance of kuksa\, as well as design considerations\, materials\, and construction. The class starts with preparing a carving billet from a fresh log. Over the course of the weekend\, students will lay out their kuksa\, complete the hollowing process\, and then shape the outside of the kuksa. Finishing and decorating options will be discussed so students can choose what they want and make their cups their own after class. \nAdditional information: \n\nA $50 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class. Students should provide their own core tools\, including a carving axe and slojd knife. Optionally\, bring a hook or hollowing knife and any other favorite tools if you have them. The instructor will also have a variety of tools available for class use.\nPhysical ability: Axing requires good hand and arm strength\, flexibility and standing for extended periods.\nSkill level: Previous green woodcarving experience with an axe and knife\, such as a multi-day spoon or bowl carving class\, is required.\nAges: Suitable for ages 18+ or 16-17 registered alongside an adult student. A discounted ticket price for youth is available at checkout.\nAdvanced registration required.
