Sunflower Relief Woodcarving for Beginners

Get introduced to the art of woodcarving by carving a sunflower relief using a chisel and mallet under the guidance of special visiting instructor Rick Liegl. A co-founder of Colonial Crafts of Connecticut, Rick is a master craftsman who will show you how to lay out a design using a pencil, ruler and compass. Then you will learn and practice traditional carving techniques in an oak panel and carve your own wall hanging to take home. A basic understanding of woodworking is helpful but not necessary. Rick will provide a piece of oak for each student to carve, as well as carving chisels and mallets.
