This class is intended for students who already have some relief carving experience and are ready to take their carving to the next level. Our instructor Saman has chosen a few patterns that will challenge the student to further develop their carving skills. Or, with instructor approval you can also bring your own design. In the class the student will work on advancing their carving skills. Particular attention will be paid to laying out the design on the wood to be carved, the correct carving tools to be used, and continuing to work on creating the sense of depth, making the subject appear to be 3 dimensional.
