Join professional woodcarver Mary May to learn all about carving details seen ornamenting antique furniture. This beginner carving class will start with the basics of tool sharpening, safe clamping techniques, how to use traditional long-handled carving gouges, and how to work in the correct grain direction. Mary will then walk students through several projects, such as carving a flower in relief, carving a traditional acanthus leaf, carving a Queen Anne fan, and carving a classic scallop shell.
