Instructor: Anna Poor
Monday - Friday
July 20 - 24
9am - 12pm
5 sessions

In this class we will be learning and combining skills to create unique sculptural and  functional objects.  We will work subtractively (carving and cutting) and additively, investigating traditional and inventive joinery, using supplied, found and deconstructed wood objects. We will discuss color, repetition, mark making and decode how sculpture exists in space, looking at the work of Joseph Cornell,  Deborah Butterfield, George Baselitz and Louise Nevelson.

There will be demonstrations and instruction in the safe usage of hand and power tools, and guided projects to get you started on your way.

No previous experience is necessary, just an openness to explore.
