About this Workshop

Do you have a box of gorgeous little scraps of wood, with figure or color, that you couldn’t bear to throw away? Turn those into beautiful wearable art with the use of a micro-motor rotary power carver. Learn how to simply incise a pattern into the wood and then accent the design using colored waxes, gilding paste, or paint to make it stand out. After learning the basics, students will have the knowledge to achieve pieces with more complex designs. Your wearable art will come alive!

  • Experimenting with a variety of carving burrs to create different textures
