Transforming Wood with Powercarving
KRISTIN LEVIER
June 6 – 10, 2022
Turn plain wood planks, banged up furniture parts and discards from Goodwill into objects of beauty using surface-carving skills (texturing, relief carving, piercing), basic design and finishing techniques. These skills translate to ornamenting furniture and turned objects, creating stamps and rollers for ceramic work, and media beyond wood. Workshop time will mostly be spent using micromotor powercarvers, but bandsaws, angle grinders, sanders and files will be used as well. The techniques learned directly apply to the use of larger powercarving tools and can serve as a springboard for large-scale future work.
