Are you proficient at relief carving? If so, would you be willing to help out at a free workshop for beginning carvers?
I'm trying to organize a one day, free workshop for anyone who wants to learn relief carving. This is along the same line as the one day, free sharpening workshops Mike Davis conducted earlier this year. PeteM and I discussed this at the picnic Saturday and he has agreed to be a participant. But we also agreed it would be better if there were two experienced carvers to demonstrate their techniques. So we're looking for one more.
The venue for this would be my shop, which is located just south of Greensboro and Burlington, almost in the center of NC. The format would be for the experienced carvers to demonstrate their technique on a simple, beginner level pattern, then let the participants practice on their own. The experienced carvers would then observe each "student" and offer their advice or guidance. Think of this as a demonstration / workshop rather than a formal teaching exercise. Your reward for doing this will be two fold: first, the satisfaction of passing on your skill to others, and second, I'll buy your lunch (pizza). :gar-La;
If you think you would be interested and willing to help with this effort, please respond either here or send me a PM. If we can work out all the details and logistics, I'll post a later thread for those who want to learn.
Thank You....................................Bill
