About this Workshop

Bring a lathe-turned piece to life with relief-carved leaves. In this class, students will select unique leaf patterns, transfer them to their projects, and use micromotor carvers and burrs to create lifelike texture and detail. Participants will learn techniques for removing negative space and explore options for sanding and finishing. By the end of the week, each student will have a one-of-a-kind finished project ready to display. Beginners are welcome!
