This is an IN-PERSON CLASS.
The sculptural bangle is a project that teaches students to sculpt wood using basic tools. Students can expect to learn the basics of the drill press and the bandsaw, and develop skills in manipulating surfaces using hand tools.
Students will begin with a solid block of wood and use a hole saw on the drill press to create an arm hole. They will then use the bandsaw and hand tools to form and shape their bangle followed by sanding and finishing.
Students will leave class with a finished bangle that makes a great gift or prized personal accessory.
Class Schedule:
