Class Project: Carver’s Choice

Cost $350 + blank ($40 to $55)
Tools: Safety glove, wood burner, paints, knife, #3 and #5 gouges, 1/2" and 1/4" U gouges, and veiners in sizes 3/16", 1mm and 2mm. Debbe's class is a learning experience combined with fun. Her class will focus on anatomy, expression and mood, muscle structure, hair texture, movement, and painting to create the realism for which she is known.  Much attention is also given to expression, thus putting life in your animal's eyes.  Debbe teaches through a combination of group discussions along with individual instruction.

Debbe Edwards has been teaching woodcarving classes for 30 years.  She began carving in 1990 and has won numerous Blue Ribbon and Best of Show awards at Woodcarving Shows and Fine Art Shows.  Debbe is nationally known for her realistic animals.  Classes are taught through group demonstration, and individual help.
