Using her classic European style of carving teaches you the techniques for efficiency and tool control. Using full sized mallet tools, she steps you through exercises in the use of specific tools to accomplish a particular design, from the simplest floral relief to a Chippendale fan. |

Jeff Harness Every other month or so, I have been organizing a face carving seminar in which we build on basic structures. Each session, I add either a new facial feature or expression. We carve in cottonwood bark, because of the speed / ease that it carves, and the interesting textures that each piece of bark contains. because of the unique character of each piece of bark, each project becomes unique. This time around, I made them carve a face without a mustache - they had to carve the mouth! Some carved open smiling mouths both straight and crooked, some added one crooked tooth. |
