Hand-Carved Wooden Signs with Jock Holmen
Personalize any place by creating a hand-carved wooden sign roughly 30” x 8”. Woodcarver Jock Holmen will teach the entire sign-making process, from proper design to layout, letter and incised carving, painting, and finishing options while students work on a personal project. Whether it will hang at the cabin, the garden, a business, or bedroom, a handcrafted sign is a great addition.
Instruction will include both incised and raised letters, focusing on design, layout and carving.
Finishing options will be discussed so that students will leave with a clear idea of how to paint and complete their carved sign.
The instructor will contact students ahead of time to discuss their projects; there may be limitations due to time and materials.
Students are requested to bring two examples of letter styles they like to class. A printout with upper case letters approximately 3” tall and lower case approximately 2” tall would be helpful.
Tuition: member $185 non-member $200 Supplies: Approximate project size, 30” x 8”. Materials fee: $25 for basswood. Students are welcome to bring their own wood. Supply fee: $25 for basswood. Students are welcome to bring their own wood.
