Course Overview

Learn to add decorative details to woodenware with the “Norwegian termite,” Jock Holmen. Jock will teach a variety of carving techniques using gouges, chisels and carving knives that students will practice on a freshly turned bowl (courtesy of Cooper Ternes of Nordic Woodware). Simple repeated patterns and marks can add creative and personal flourish to wooden objects of many sorts-- spoons, bowls and more, and can even be used to make the most of imperfections and cracks in projects. The materials fee includes a small ale bowl to practice on, but students are encouraged to bring their own work to embellish. The instructor will have tools to borrow.
