Woodcarving: Bird Carving: Eastern Bluebird
with instructor Riley Monroe
2 spaces available
Eastern Bluebird populations have rebounded thanks to conservation efforts. A member of the thrush family, it is about 7" high with rounded head, large eyes, and short tail, and the male is known for its vivid blue feathers. Using reference photos and measurements from scaled sketches, carve a likeness of this beautiful bird in tupelo wood with power-carving tools. Improve your skills in carving, burning & texturing feathers, and painting with acrylics in the process. Power-carving experience is essential, and you are asked to bring your tools.
