L to R: Deb Lindsay’s, Doris’ & Jane’sI have been taking more custom carving classes this past month, honing my skills even more. This class taught me to sculpt the project I am working on in clay then to transfer it to wood. This technique is not easy but extremely fun! From sculpting and then carving the sculpted model in to wood is a different avenue of art to explore. The excitement and challenging of creating a project in this manner opens many more possibilities for me. During the class, we sculpted the horses head for the first three days. Then carved the design into cherry wood the following 4 days.
L to R: Deb Lindsay (Me), Doris & JaneThere where two other women taking this class with me. Each of our project will be finished then framed or left without a frame and then displayed for everyone to see. At the point these photos where taken, the projects where not quite finished. Still they are really beautiful and each very unique. I will be posting pictures of my finished custom sculpted and custom carved horse head soon.
L to R: Craig Hone, Doris, Jane, Jeff Wolf & Deb Lindsay (Me)The class was a total blast! One I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to sculpt or carve. As you can see by the pictures, we very fortunate to be taught by one of the best, internationally renowned master wood carver, Craig Hone and internationally renowned bronze sculptor, Jeff Wolf. These two men are the world’s best teachers, very patient and knowledgeable not to mention friendly! I look forward to taking more classes from them in the future. Thanks Craig and Jeff for a wonderful and educational experience.
