Class Description:

CONVERSATION PIECES: Carving three corner chips that graduate from smaller to larger, students will create the illusion of roundness on a flat 10-inch plate that will surely be a conversation piece in your home or office. A second project will afford the opportunity to carve the word “Peace” in any language the student prefers on a 4”x 12” board, again, sure to be a conversation piece in home or office.
