September Carving Project: Christmas Tree with Dennis Johnson
It’s never too early to start carving for Christmas! Join Dennis Johnson as he teaches participants how to carve a decorative wooden Christmas tree at our September 23rd Wednesday meeting in Eau Claire and again at the following Thursday afternoon in Chippewa Falls. Dennis will guide the project step by step, sharing techniques and tips that will help you create a festive holiday decoration or a thoughtful handmade gift. Bring your carving tools and enjoy learning, carving, and fellowship with fellow Guild members.
In October, Jan Jenson will teach how to make a clothespin Crocodile. Should be fun.
The West Wisconsin Wood Carvers Guild is pleased to welcome back Fred and Elaine Stenman for a four-day, all-day low relief carving workshop in August, running Thursday, August 20th through August 23rd. The Stenmans have been teaching low relief carving to our Guild for more than 20 years, and their classes are always a favorite.
Elaine will lead the instruction, with Fred assisting and offering artistic guidance throughout the workshop. They will bring an excellent selection of woods, patterns, tools, and paints for those who need them. Participants should bring their own knives, gouges, tools and—most importantly—a desire to create great art.
The workshop will once again be held at the Chippewa Falls Senior Center.
