Aimed at students who have no carving experience or are self-taught carvers who lack specialized technical training, this series of classes introduces tool safety, sharpening, material selection, and finishing. Participants will work on a different project each week, including carving in the round and relief carving. Fee includes instruction, a tool kit to keep, and materials for projects; students bring a pencil to class.

All classes are taught by Doug Bathke, a Trustee at the museum, who has been carving for 61+ years and teaching for 55+. Registration and pre-payment are required by Wednesday, March 5th. Please call 716-693-1885 to register. Classes are a series and cannot be taken individually. Fees are non-refundable after the first class. Maximum enrollment is 12 students for the Beginner classes. All classes are ages 18 and up

Cost: $110 or $100 for HCFM Museum Members
