SCHEDULED CLASSES FOR 2019:
__________________________________________
GENERAL WOODCARVING CLASS—-OCTOBER 21-25, 2019
I’ll be teaching a woodcarving class at Peter Engler Design Studio in Branson, Missouri, and you’re invited to attend. The class will be held in the classroom upstairs, over the woodcarving gallery and shop. Cost for the five day class will be $350 plus cost of blank.
SUBJECT: Your choice. Use one of my designs or roughouts, or work on an idea of your own that you’ve been thinking about. Most people come to my classes to learn anatomy of humans or a specific animal, and how to design and execute their own work for maximum effect. My roughouts are designed mainly for teaching specific lessons and levels, and all are aimed at enhancing the student learning curve. I will need to know in advance what you’ll be carving.
