Description
If you’ve never carved a thing, and only use knives to butter your bread or chop your veggies, here’s an introduction to the art of sculpture that requires no power tools, vice, workbench, or exotic tools. Learn to guide a knife through wood safely, effectively, and with minimal effort. Learn about trees and grain, shape and volume, sculpture and beauty. Consider proportion and purpose. Go home with a beautiful spoon! Or two. Or three! Chopsticks optional!
