I’m co-teaching this class with my dear friend and fellow wood weirdo, Julian Watts.
In this four-day workshop we will use both traditional and experimental carving techniques to create handheld sculptures that blur the line between functional objects and abstract works of art. Using spoon carving and brush making as a foundation, our process will explore abstract drawing, power carving, and more, with each student designing and carving their own unique interactive objects. We will also consider the performative possibilities of these unusual objects. Through this unconventional and open-ended approach, students will leave the class not only with carving skills and a deepened understanding of wood, but also an expanded view of what is possible at the intersection of traditional craft, art, and design. All levels.
