Snowman Woodcarving and Paint

Instructor: Joe Hauger
Art of the Lakes Gallery
November 7, 9:30am - 4:00pm

It's that time of the year for winter fun! What better way to start the season than with a woodcarving lesson of a snowman. Joe Hauger will introduce the best and safest knife stroke techniques as well as give you a chance to try different carving knives. We'll briefly touch on topics including carving "with the grain", how to keep the knife sharp, and painting techniques. Knives & gloves provided by the instructor, but feel free to bring your own carving tools. ("Flat plane" style carving knives will work best.) Students will get to take home a completed snowman about the size of a pop can.

This class is open to all adults, and minors 12 & older if accompanied by an adult. (The adult wouldn't need to pay if he/she does not carve.)
