Alexander will introduce the student to the design process and ways to embellish their furniture as well as give it character. He will start by sharing his sharpening techniques which he calls “sharpening on steroids.”  This is a production style of sharpening that is fast and precise\, which he uses every day that he carves.  Demonstrations will also include how to use carving gouges the old-fashioned way – by hand. This class will cover tool selection\, how to work with grain issues in the wood\, planning the cut\, ways to carve safely\, how to clamp the wood without damaging the carving\, and subtle tips and tricks in getting the best use out of your gouges. Students will start with carving a basic relief of floral decoration\, then move on to a more advanced relief carving of a classical acanthus leaf design\, and finally will move on to carve a classic shell design in relief. Alexander will explain how to think through a carving project in order to make the carving process the most efficient. He will also demonstrate how to carve the linen-fold design\, how to carve grapes or beads\, and how to carve lettering. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \nKey Points: \n*Sharpening gouges \n*How to properly hold gouges for safety & efficiency \n*How to lower down the background for relief carving \n*How to work with wood grain issues \n*How to carve a basic floral decoration \n*How to carve a more advanced classical acanthus leaf  decoration \n*How to carve a classical scallop shell carving \n*Tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your gouges \n*Demonstrations on linen-fold design\, grapes\, and letter carving URL:https://events.schoolofwoodcarving.com/index.php/event/fundamentals-of-carving-marc-adams-school-of-woodworking-3/ LOCATION:Marc Adams School of Woodworking\, 5504 E 500 N\, Franklin\, IN\, 46131\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://photos.smugmug.com/2019/Carving-with-a-Classical-Flair-with-Alexander-Grabovetskiy/i-vq3Mdfn/0/e73d045b/X5/grabovetskiy_classical_carving2019-09-08%20at%206.50.22%20PM%2010-X5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marc Adams":MAILTO:info@marcadams.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230206T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230210T170000 DTSTAMP:20221209T163330Z CREATED:20221123T192806Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221209T163330Z UID:172-1675670400-1676048400@events.schoolofwoodcarving.com SUMMARY:CARVING WITH A CLASSICAL FLAIR -AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FURNITURE - TEXAS DESCRIPTION:After taking this course\, with only a few carving tools\, you will be able to create (carve) the beautiful decorations\, you can use to embellish your furniture or use as a piece of art in your home.  \nThe class project is to create (carve) a beautiful piece.

Fine art is considered 2D and sculpture/wood carving is\nconsidered 3D. Wood carving is also a type of sculpture. But when compared\, 2D\nmodeling is an additive process and wood carving is a deductive process. The art\nof deduction is a little more complicated to draw. If\, while carving\, a 1/16″ is\nremoved from the wrong place\, the effect on the final carving can be “gone with\nthe wind”. \n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \nDesigning for wood carving causes the designer to think differently.\nPlus\, it is important to keep in mind the shape of the tool and the effect of the\ncut. Learning how to draw what you intend to carve is a practice that is rarely\, if\never\, taught. In this one day class Alexander will help students understand the\nprocess of drawing deductively\, which will make carving easier to understand.

This method could be used in any type of woodcarving including carving for furniture or carving in 3D (carving in-round) or just in ornamental or architectural types of wood carving. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nKey Points: \n*Classical design development for carving–the ancient art of  design \n*How to think in 3D before you carve–the art of composition \n*How to properly use wood carving tools for safety and efficiency \n*How to work with wood grain issues \n*How to carve a classical design applicable to any type of woodcarving (furniture\, ornamental\, architectural) \n*How to sharpen wood carving tools fast and efficient \n*Tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your carvings URL:https://events.schoolofwoodcarving.com/index.php/event/carving-with-a-classical-flair-marc-adams-school-of-woodworking-3/ LOCATION:Marc Adams School of Woodworking\, 5504 E 500 N\, Franklin\, IN\, 46131\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://schoolofwoodcarving.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/alexander_grabovetskiy_carving2020-07-23-at-3.32.59-PM-5-X4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marc Adams":MAILTO:info@marcadams.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220613T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220617T170000 DTSTAMP:20220201T141503Z CREATED:20210621T193440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220201T141503Z UID:82-1655107200-1655485200@events.schoolofwoodcarving.com SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Carving – Maine-Coast Traditional Arts Workshops DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to be an introduction to basic carving skills and would be perfect for any furniture maker who wants to take his or her work to the next level.

This method could be used in any type of woodcarving including carving for furniture or carving in 3D (carving in-round) or just in ornamental or architectural types of wood carving. \nKey Points: \n*Classical design development for carving–the ancient art of  design \n*How to think in 3D before you carve–the art of composition \n*How to properly use wood carving tools for safety and efficiency \n*How to work with wood grain issues \n*How to carve a classical design applicable to any type of woodcarving (furniture\, ornamental\, architectural) \n*How to sharpen wood carving tools fast and efficient \n*Tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your carvings URL:https://events.schoolofwoodcarving.com/index.php/event/carving-with-a-classical-flair-marc-adams-school-of-woodworking-2/ LOCATION:Marc Adams School of Woodworking\, 5504 E 500 N\, Franklin\, IN\, 46131\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://schoolofwoodcarving.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/alexander_grabovetskiy_carving2020-07-23-at-3.32.59-PM-5-X4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Marc Adams":MAILTO:info@marcadams.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210614T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210618T170000 DTSTAMP:20200914T025004Z CREATED:20200914T024817Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200914T025004Z UID:50-1623657600-1624035600@events.schoolofwoodcarving.com SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Carving – Maine-Coast Traditional Arts Workshops DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to be an introduction to basic carving skills and would be perfect for any furniture maker who wants to take his or her work to the next level. Alexander will introduce the student to the design process and ways to embellish their furniture as well as give it character. He will start by sharing his sharpening techniques which he calls “sharpening on steroids.” This is a production style of sharpening that is fast and precise\, which he uses every day that he carves. Demonstrations will also include how to use carving gouges the old fashioned way – by hand. This class will cover tool selection\, how to work with grain issues in the wood\, planning the cut\, ways to carve safely\, how to clamp the wood without damaging the carving\, and subtle tips and tricks in getting the best use out of your gouges. Students will start with carving a basic relief of floral decoration\, then move on to a more advanced relief carving of a classical acanthus leaf design\, and finally will move on to carve a classic shell design in relief. Alexander will explain how to think through a carving project in order to make the carving process the most efficient. He will also demonstrate how to carve the linen-fold design\, how to carve grapes or beads\, and how to carve lettering. \nKey Points: \n*Sharpening gouges \n*How to properly hold gouges for safety & efficiency \n*How to lower down the background for relief carving \n*How to work with wood grain issues \n*How to carve a basic floral decoration \n*How to carve a more advanced classical acanthus leaf decoration \n*How to carve a classical scallop shell carving \n*Tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your gouges \n*Demonstrations on linen-fold design\, grapes\, and letter carving URL:https://events.schoolofwoodcarving.com/index.php/event/fundamentals-of-carving-maine-coast-traditional-arts-workshops/ LOCATION:Maine-Coast Traditional Arts Workshops\, High St\, Camden\, ME\, 04843\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://schoolofwoodcarving.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Carving-venice-room-58-4-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="William Francis Brown":MAILTO:dei.gratia123@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210406T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210410T170000 DTSTAMP:20200914T024448Z CREATED:20200914T024448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200914T024448Z UID:47-1617696000-1618074000@events.schoolofwoodcarving.com SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Carving -Marc Adams School of Woodworking DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to be an introduction to basic carving skills and would be perfect for any furniture maker who wants to take his or her work to the next level.
