1:00pm - 4:00pm: Whimsical Shorebirds with Steve Valleau at SAFA Schoolhouse

This class will take place over two consecutive afternoons. The first session will be carving and sanding a Basswood bird cutout. The second session will be devoted to painting the bird carving and its wooden base with acrylic paint. The bird blank is relatively thin so although it will take less time than carving a fully round bird this project presents as many carving challenges.
