Class Overview
Do you have basic carving skills and want to refine your art? Learn to create more detailed work from wood in this rewarding class.
Build upon your knowledge and take on more intricate, challenging, and inspiring designs. Carve more complex and fluid forms inspired by nature and traditional Persian artistry. As you build your carving skills, enjoy creating a detailed and beautiful carving that challenges and enhances your skills.
We will focus on sanding, finishing, and polishing techniques. This class will emphasize proper use of carving tools and safety, and is best suited for people with some prior carving experience, as we’ll be working with harder woods.
Leave class with a refined piece of decorative art carved from wood to proudly display or give as a unique hand-made piece of art.
