Hand Wood Carving: Techniques, Tools, & Transformation
Fredy Huaman Mallqui
Tuition $1,110
Code W1210-24
This workshop is for carvers at all levels who want to learn and expand their knowledge of hand wood carving, tools, and techniques. Participants transform a drawing into a 3D piece, and are invited to work on individual projects that range in form and function. Starting with a wooden block and a design, students dive into their own projects while benefiting from shared critiques. With thorough discussion and demonstration, the class addresses tool handling safety and efficiency, sharpening gouge selection, approaches to the carving process through drawing and composition, and complete step-by-step planning.
