OVERVIEW |
| This popular one-day class is fun, educational, and fast-moving. By the end of class the student will have created |
| a contemporary version of the time-honored fish spearing decoy originally used by the earliest inhabitants of |
| the North American continent. What was used hundreds of years ago as a means of capturing available food in |
| the winter now is sought after by avid collectors. The student will learn techniques and create a style that will |
| produce a piece no less interesting and intrigueing. Carve, detail, weight, balance, and paint your own "fake fish", |
| and if you have the stamina, fish with it the next time you travel to the deep-frozen North. Some carving |
| experience is recommended, but not required. |
