About ASI / Instructors / Jeanette Torkelson

Jeanette Torkelson

Jeanette took her first green wood carving class in 2019 from Fireweed Woodshop and was hooked. She quickly realized that carving is more fun with sharp tools and was lucky to learn sharpening skills at ASI from wonderful instructors Paul Linden and Fred Livesay and from her co-teacher Andrew who she met through ASI craft classes. Jeanette loves to carve bowls, weave baskets and bike around. Her favorite tool is the Julia Kalthoff axe.
