Introduction to Wood Carving: Free Workshop

Description

Taught by Bruce McIntyre. This workshop offers a beginner-friendly introduction to basic woodcarving tools and techniques. Participants become familiar with carving gouges, veiners, V-paring tools, and fishtail chisels, and learn how wood grain affects the use of each tool. Students start by carving simple arcs with all tools, then move on to carving basic shapes to build skill and confidence. There is also an opportunity to refresh the bevel on the tools and, if time allows, practice basic sharpening. This free workshop is designed for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of woodcarving. Saturday, 1pm – 3pm April 11 Members / Nonmembers Free
