In this five-day class 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. By integrating the processes of spoon carving, expressive drawing, and power carving, students will leave the class not only with a robust carving skillset, but also an expanded view of what is possible at the intersection of traditional craft, art, and design.
