ADVANCED WOOD CARVING COURSE

THIS COURSE, OPEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE ATTENDED THE

BASIC CARVING COURSE, PROPOSES TECHNIQUES TO ADVENTURE INTO

WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNFAIRLY DEFINED AS A MINOR ART

MINOR.

MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE SILENT EVOLUTION FROM THE

UTILITARIAN TO THE “ARTISTIC” FIELD OR MAYBE BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH

WITH DIFFERENT RESULTS, IT IS A TECHNIQUE WITHIN THE REACH OF

EVERYONE.

KNIFE POINT (OR ALA VALDOSTANA), HALF-ROUND AND/OR

FULL-ROUND.

ONE OR MORE OBJECTS USING EACH OF THE TECHNIQUES PROPOSED.

PENCIL, ERASER AND PAPER FOR NOTES, COMPASS, TRANSPARENT RULERS,

RULER AND LOTS OF IMAGINATION.
