Sculptural Wooden Vases (A)
Adult Intensive | FULL
Learn how to make sculptural wooden vases! In this class, you'll learn safety, build skills, and explore personal expression in a safe and supportive environment. You will learn and use hand and power carving techniques to create your own wooden vases. Plan to leave with one finished piece.
- Students should come prepared with safety gear (eye and ear protection and a dust mask/respirator). We will be getting dusty and dirty! Wear comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes. If you have longer hair, bring something to tie your hair back. There will be a 30 minute lunch break so please bring a lunch.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
On-site courses do not come with studio access outside of class time. Paid open studio access is available through our Studio Access Program. Please visit visarts.org for more information.
