STEVE GURNETT 5c-d Mon 7/15-Tues 7/16
Carving for Beginners 2 day class
Join Steve for two days of learning to wood carve. The subject of this class is entitled “Rounding Corners”. Steve will be teaching a beginners carving class focusing on carving basics. You will learn:
-Safety first
-How to keep your tools sharp
-The three knife cuts needed to carve any project
-Two techniques for controlling your chisel or gouge through the cut
-How to round corners to avoid the “boxy” look
-Techniques for creating symmetry in your piece
-Glue is your friend
-How to know when you are done (Stop! Put the knife down and walk away!)
-Patience🙂
The students will spend the morning of day one learning a variety of woodcarving techniques. Then they will choose their project(s) from a variety of options including whittled, realistic, or stylized, with the goal of developing their carving technique. Students will work one on one with Steve on a rotating basis. As opportunities to demonstrate a particular concept arises, he’ll stop the class and demonstrate a technique or concept. “I find that I learn as much from my student as they learn from me, so I encourage questions and an open dialogue.”
List of Projects:
-Comfort Bird
-Shore bird
-Wooden chain
-Ball in a cage
-Golf club duck (small charge for the golf club)
-Rose
-Dolphin
-Shark
-Sea Horse
-Shoe
The full 2 day class fee of $50 is due at time of registration. Cost of the cutout, $3, is payable to Steve on the day of the class.
Number of students: 4 minimum and 10 maximum. This class is for Beginners.
Tools needed: Pencil and notepad; Glove and thumb card; carving knife; misc. gouges and v-tools; water bottle; phone (“for taking pictures and videos of demonstrations, checking your email, trashing me on social media, etc.”) Steve has carving kits available for use if the beginning student has no tools.
Questions may be directed to Steve at 719-339-5164, or email [email protected].
Cost is $50 due at registration. Cost of the blank/roughout, $3, is payable to Steve on the day of the class.
