Day 3 of 3-Day Workshop Open new avenues of creativity and improve your floral carving designs in this three-day workshop geared toward the practicing craftsman. With decades of teaching experience, Cary’s hands-on, demo-laden approach will provide ways of making design a habit, with an eye toward saving time while elevating your work. Day one focuses on “how” and “what” to draw, using artistic elements of balance, ratio, variety, composition and negative space. Explore “gesture drawing,” building off Kimon Nicolaides’ 1938 book, The Natural Way to Draw (which will be mailed to you in December). Days two and three focus on carving, swivel knife techniques and thoughtful tool selection. To help you stay the trail, Cary will email you a daily drawing assignment for 30 days after the class! Open to students of intermediate experience and above. Veteran leatherworkers and sophomores alike are sure to glean new information. Students must bring their own stamping tools, sketch pad, pencil, eraser, and an open mind! Students may choose to bring a small project of their own to work on.
