This year will be my first year of formal teaching at a woodcarving roundup.? This is basically a free class but I can charge for the wood blank.? What I would like to teach is?an introduction to?classical carving which really isn't being offered much at any of the
roundups.? Classical carving, just to clarify things, means some tool specific carving.? This means minimizing the use of the stop cut and emphasizing either a veiner or v-tool to cut around and outline, chisels and shallow gouges for grounding out and gouges for doing rounding, the sweep of the gouges matching the curve of the carving, rather than whittling away with any tool till you get what shape you want.?No power tools in this class. ?I will be touching on the history of carving and an explanation of the sheffield numbering system and some advanced carving techniques, but imparting that knowledge during the course of the day rather <BR>than giving a boring lecture.? People in my class will range from beginners to intermediates.? I want to do a classical style relief carving which can be finished by most in roughly 6 hours of carving.? My original ideas were to do either, grapes and leaves, an acanthus leaf design or a traditional shell carving.?
<BR><BR>?<BR><BR>Now my topics for discussion are, if you were to come and take my class.... first which design would you be more interested in doing and why.?? Would you rather the design already be on the wood or should I make my students transfer the pattern lines themselves?? Would you find this class interesting?? Any?else you can?think of?would be great and all suggestions will help alot.?
