This is a timeless craft that is easy to learn and produces beautiful ornate results. I will outline the basics of wood selection tools and sharpening layout lettering and finishing while instructing you on the techniques that will have you decorating household items and creating artistic pieces in variety of designs. After practicing the techniques that you will take away from this introductory course in a classic art form you can embellish Napkin Holders Tissue Box Holders Plant Boxes Mailboxes Letter Holders Cheese and Cracker Trays Trinket Boxes Cabinet Doors. The list is endless. No concession.
