Landscape Relief with Sue Lemm
Flickertail Woodcarvers are proud to bring featured carver Sue Lemm to guide us through a relief carving of a local landscape, tailored just for us! The design will be your choice of a bison cow and calf in a Badlands landscape (pictured left), or a meadowlark in an appropriate setting (design TBD.)
We will be carving in bark-on basswood boards with a carvable area of 10”x10”.
Class will be full days Thursday and Friday Oct 8 & 9, and the mornings of Saturday and Sunday Oct 10 & 11. All class days will be held at the Eagles Club. Class begins at 9 AM.
Recommended tools:
- #3 gouges (or close to that) ranging in width from 5mm up to about an inch.
- Small V-tool (for outlining and texturing)
- #9 gouges (or close to that) either micro-tool size or up to about 10 mm in width (for texturing and shaping).
- Favorite bench knife
- Strongly recommended: a bench hook or clampable carving station, or at the very least, some non-slip matting to hold the board in place as you carve.
- Pencil, eraser, and the standard safety protections. Optionally, task lighting.
- Optional wood burner—for use only at the end of the project. The club will have at least one set up for class use.
The club does have sets of small-width long-handled tools that can be checked out with advance notice. Please note on the registration if long handle tools are required or email Eric.
Class Fee of $140.00 Minimum Class size of 8, maximum class size 12.
Pysanky Eggs with Mary Waagen
The Flickertail Woodcarvers would like to welcome Mary Waagen. This class is designed for people to understand how Pysanky eggs are created. Pysanky is a folk art that dates back thousands of years and originated in the region of Ukraine, Poland, Czechoslovakia and parts of Russia. It is believed that these eggs would bring luck, wealth, health and protection.
Class participants will learn how to make their own Pysanky Egg. These eggs will become a treasured heirloom for your family.
Class will be Saturday morning and Sunday morning, Oct 10 & 11, from 9 AM to 12 PM.
