January 23rd-February 13th

In this course, students will learn how to carve wood by hand safely and effectively. They will learn the structure and properties of wood including it's grain hardness, and growth patterns. We will work with a variety of hand carving tools and learn how to sharpen and maintain them. Students will walk away having completed a spoon and a project of your choice (fitting the remainder of workshop time frame) and have the confidence and technical abilities to design and execute their own carving project.
This introductory carving course will meet for 4 weeks from 6:30pm-9:30pm, at the home of Bien Hecho Academy in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
