Intermediate Flat Plane Figure Carving Workshop with Jock Holmen

This class runs four Tuesdays, May 5-26, from 9 am-12 pm each session. Build skills in Scandinavian-style flat plane figure carving in this intermediate-level workshop. Students with previous figure carving experience will work on nuances of adding details to figures’ faces and bodies. Over four weeks, students will practice on sample sticks and bring previously started figures to life. This class will offer a supportive, creative environment focused on exploring new techniques. Please note that this class focuses solely on carving techniques; painting will not be covered. Additional information: Advanced registration required. Physical ability: Wood carving requires good hand strength and dexterity, such as being able to open a pickle jar. This class is open to intermediate carving students with past experience, or students who have taken the beginner course immediately preceding this course. Suitable for ages 18+. Bring your figures in process, your own figure carving knife (flex cut #13 or similar), and carving glove. A $10 materials fee is also due in class to instructor Jock Holmen for sample sticks and other materials.
