This class runs four Tuesdays, May 5-26, from 9 am-12 pm each session.

Build skills in Scandinavian-style flat plane figure carving in this intermediate-level workshop. Students with previous figure carving experience will work on nuances of adding details to figures’ faces and bodies. Over four weeks, students will practice on sample sticks and bring previously started figures to life. This class will offer a supportive, creative environment focused on exploring new techniques. Please note that this class focuses solely on carving techniques; painting will not be covered.
