9am-5pm – Featured Carver Izo Becic of Moorhead will be teaching a a Symmetrical Acanthus Clock. The clock is about 18 inches by 18 inches and in butternut.

Izo is a European trained Master Carver who moved to the US in the 1990s. He has taught this style to hundreds of students around the country. This is a 4 day class with 2 full days of carving and 2 half days of carving. Class will begin on October 9th. Location of the first two days of the class will come a little closer to the date of the class.

This class will use long handle tools and mallets, so no potato peelers. Please bring any long handle tools that you own and 2 to 4 clamps. Izo will have tools available to borrow. The club has several sets of long-handled tools available to borrow with advanced notice. You will be most comfortable if the carving is at elbow height for you; a riser, a carving stand, or a bench hook sized to fit the 18”
clock would be optional but helpful.
