The Brasstown Crèche Date: Sunday, Apr 26 - Saturday, May 2, 2020 Subject: Woodcarving Instructor: Helen Gibson Share: Practice traditional carving skills under the direction of a master carver and teacher to create an in-the-round nativity figure in the Brasstown Carvers tradition - and also learn about the rich history of this local tradition. Begin by using a coping saw to cut a rough block, and then use knives, chisels, and gouges to shape and detail the piece. Work will be done at your own pace, and more than one figure may be possible, depending on skill level. All are welcome. This class is featured in our "Passing On Appalachian Traditions" series, and is designed to connect highly skilled Appalachian craft instructors with present-day students. Instruction includes historical and cultural relevance, in addition to helping students understand, recognize, and practice traditional Appalachian skills and techniques. Prior to registering, please read our General Information and Policies. Tuition: $630.00 Deposit: A deposit of $150.00 will be due upon checkout to hold your seat in this class.
