Chip Carving For All
March 15th and 16th 9:00am - 4:00pm, and March 17th 12pm - 3pm
No woodcarving experience needed. Individuals with prior training and/or experience, who want a refresher on chip carving fundamentals, will also benefit
New students will learn the foundational skills and techniques of this decorative art form. People often say, “I could never do that” when seeing a Chip Carved piece. Arguably, it’s the easiest of all woodcarving styles to learn.
Chip Carving has been done for centuries, originating in Northern Europe, to add beauty and personalize handmade wooden objects ranging from kitchen cabinet doors, Mangle Boards, and household items like cookie presses, decorative plates and bowls, wooden shoes, and even architectural building components.
Each beginning student will learn proper knife sharpening, knife holding techniques, and how to “read” grain direction. New students will use pre-printed Study Boards to learn proper technique for carving two-sided (canoe-shaped) and three-sided (triangle-shaped) “chips” and how to use them in various patterns, borders, and rosettes as well as leaves, flowers, grids, and lettering as time allows. Finally, each Student will apply these new skills to complete one or more Ready-to-Carve drink coasters or an 8” decorative wooden plate.
Register by calling (828) 687-3940 or in Person at Klingspor’s Woodworking Shop, 270 Rutledge Rd Unit A, Fletcher NC 28732
