Explore the use of pattern, texture and color on both flat and three-dimensional surfaces. Investigate different approaches and forms that a box and vessel form can take on using both hand tools and machines. Emphasis will be on shaping and sculpting pieces to create pleasing curves, unusual shapes and just about anything that falls into the category of fun and zany. A primary focus will be on carving pattern and applying color in a myriad of ways to the interior and exterior surfaces of the boxes. Tools used, but not limited to, will include: carving tools, chisels, files and rasps and some machinery. Be prepared to veer off the path into creative territory that is sure to be action packed and fun. This class is suitable for all levels.
Workshops run from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day
Lunch is included for all participants
