In this beginner course, learn how to carve wood without the use of power tools in your journey as a new woodcarver. The learning will focus around spoon and kuksa carving.
Get hands on experience using traditional tools and techniques as you build a milking stool. You will be introduced to hand tools such as hand planes, chisels, hand saws, including how to conduct the day-to-day maintenance of the tools. This course is perfect for those with little or no woodworking experience. We will learn how to work with the wood to yield a heirloom piece of furniture that can be used in your home.
In this three-day workshop, students will combine sewing knowledge with basic pattern construction to create their own projects. Students are expected to have basic domestic sewing machine knowledge, including threading and straight stitching experience.
Choose from a series of patterns provided by the instructor, and customize to suit your needs. Come prepared to make mistakes, learn while you create and come away with a creation to be proud of!
