Join Bob Gander as he teaches you how to carve a simple snowman clad in a hat and scarf. A perfect gift for someone who is difficult to shop for! During the class, participants will learn how to carve round/ball shapes.

Target Audience: New Carvers. This is a great follow-up class for those who took the Introduction to Carving course in October.

  • Tools will be available for the class if you don’t have any.

  • A sturdy, preferably cut resistant glove, for your non-dominant hand is essential for course participation. These can be obtained at a hardware or woodworking store.

Bob has been carving since the 1980s. He started by using diamond willow wood for functional objects. He has carved in a variety of styles: in-the-round, relief, caricature, stylized, realistic (and nearly realistic) and even a little chip carving. His carving courses include a variety of introductory projects, sharpening carving tools, love spoons, horses, stylized animals, caricatures and realistic human heads.
