Description

This is not a beginner class. Learn to use clay to create a pattern for a wood carving and transfer the pattern to wood. Red River Valley Wood Carving club member, David Ihry will be teaching how to use clay to design and trouble shoot wood carving. You will begin by creating a design out of clay for a blade cover. Then using that as a pattern, you will carve it out of wood. You will receive the clay and 3 magnetic wood blade covers. Painting will not be done in class. Carving experience is needed for this project. It is not for someone who hasn't carved before. You will use a knife, v-tool, and some gouges. There are tools to borrow if you don't have any. Please note on the registration form. The class is $35 paid to Red River Valley Woodcarvers and a $10 materials fee paid to David on the day of the class. You must pre-register for the class. You do not need to be a member to take the class. Our classes are held at the Moorhead American Legion Post 21 at 303 N. 30st St. Class starts at 9:00 am, with a break at 10:30 for the Red River Valley Woodcarvers meeting. After the meeting is lunch. A cheeseburger basket is included in the class fee. You will need to purchase your own beverage.
