Carving with Power: From Basics to Beautiful Sculpture
Kristin LeVier
Tuition $1,240
Code W1312-25
Students use power carving to texture and sculpt wood in this technique-packed workshop suitable for all skill levels. After learning micromotor power carving basics, we study design, techniques for joining wood to construct sculptural forms, and methods for coloring and finishing projects. Demonstrations and hands-on work will prepare students to choose and work on individual projects that suit their interests. We primarily use micromotor power carvers, but employ bandsaws, angle grinders, sanders and files as necessary. Skills learned apply to the use of larger power carving tools and can serve as a springboard for larger future work.
