Chip Carving the Wall Mirror
Course Overview
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest chip carver of all? You will be (or at least a more competent carver!) after you tackle this beautiful project. Instructor and fine furniture builder Peter Pestalozzi will prepare the pieces for this 20” by 26” mirror so that you can focus on the decorative chip carving that will make this mirror a distinctive piece in any home. You will start with layout, learning basic principles that can be applied to any fine woodworking project. The rest of class time will be focused on chip carving each part of the mirror, because after all, practice makes perfect. You will then assemble the mirror at home, after covering each of the necessary steps in detail during class. This course is intended to provide a jump start towards completing a specific project, encouraging students to take their carving to the next step. Some chip carving experience is helpful but not required. All materials will be provided.
