Filling the Handmade Toy Box: Carving Simple Wooden Toys
Course Overview
Once upon a time toys for children were MADE…by hand…by parents, relatives and friends. Each toy reflected the personality of the crafter and the interests of the children. Anyone who has shopped for children’s toys lately will tell you that things have changed. How about reclaiming a world of children's' toys carved from eco-kind wood, not molded in plastic. Learn to create and finish Scandinavian-inspired horses, birds, beasts and vehicles in this class, designed for beginning as well as seasoned carvers. A variety of non-toxic finishing options will be covered, including oils & paints. Perfect for anyone with an interest in children and toys with a story to tell.
