WORKSHOPS

Wax: The Unsung Hero
SC20SU13W
Learn to model in wax! Creating a wax model is the first step of the lost wax casting process. Rather than working directly in metal, the design is fabricated in a hard wax that can be carved, filed, sawn and polished. Wax is less expensive than metal and much more forgiving - if a correction has to be made, just add more! The final piece can be used for a future metal casting project. No experience necessary. All materials included.
Instructor: Ann Lehman
Saturday, 10am - 3pm, July 13
Cost: $125; members: $109

Spoons: Wood Carving and Whittling

Has this winter left lots of branches in your yard? Put them to use! Learn how to make wooden spoons. The course will focus on a non-electric approach to wood carving. Students will learn proper and safe use of carving tools, including shaping and sanding techniques. It’s a great way to make use of the pruned trees in your yard. Tools and wood are supplied. Bring a pair of work gloves. All skill levels welcome.
