Wood Carving with Small Tools *In-Person*
Through a series of demonstrations and discussion, you will be introduced to a variety of wood carving techniques and styles, all of which can be carved with a modest set of small wood carving tools. Each class will include demonstrations and an opportunity to begin carving and ask questions. We will approach this introduction with equal parts levity and seriousness, and before long you will be on your way. New and continuing students are encouraged to participate, and the mix enriches the experience. Please contact the instructor with any questions: danparet@gmail.com Instructor: Dan Paret
