SEMINARS

I have always enjoyed teaching, and on most days I will tell you that I like it better than creating my own artwork.  For that and other reasons, in the early nineties I established my own school for wood sculpture. Originally housed upstairs at Ozark Folkways, and then in a log cabin on the family property at Schaberg, we are currently getting comfortable in a new shop closer to my Schaberg house.  Classes will be held here, at Sky Vue Lodge, and at various places around the country. 

Following is a list of places and dates of classes.  More information will be added as soon as it becomes available. 


CARVING AN OLD FACE

ONLINE CLASS: Carving an Old Face
DATES: June 7, ll, 14, 18, 21, and 25.
TIMES: 4:00-6:00 p.m., Central Time
COST: $160, which includes your roughout. Extra roughouts are $24.

This class will focus on carving the old face, with its different, alike, and infinite varieties. The project is 6 1/2” tall, of basswood. Carvings in the pictures are not totally finished, for which I apologize, but I need to get this posted. You can contact me through my email at janetcordell.com.

TOOLS: I’m using a knife, and gouges in the following sizes: 11/30, 11/15, 11/10, 11/5, 11/3, 11/1. There are a few others that I sometimes use, but not as regularly. You don’t necessarily have to have these. Your own favorites will work best for you, in most situations. The main requirement is for them to be sharp.

Registration is done by contacting me, telling me you want in, and sending a check. I’ll send your roughout, and when it’s time, an email with the links for attending the class and accessing the videos. Thank you to the Woodcarving Academy for hosting.

I look forward to carving with you. If you have questions, just ask.
