OVERVIEW

This one-day class will lead the student through the various stages

to create a true American folk art collectable. Carve the classic

shorebird, commonly referred to as a "stickbird" for its 'legs'

made from a single length of hardwood dowel, and paint it like

those from the turn of the century. Some carving experience is

recommended, but not required. The beginner or novice carver is

able to complete this project and produce a piece to be treasured.

The more experienced carver will find this a fun project that's

both interesting and not too demanding.
