WOODCUTTING AT EVIL PRINTS STUDIO

Just started my woodcutting class taught by the famous Tom Huck!!
Here is his blog if you'd like to read more....

THE GUILLOTINE!

So far we had to pick out a design...(of course I picked Bender, duh!) and transfer the art onto a board. Next time I won't pick such a DETAILED design for my very first one...ugh! I didn't know I would be redrawing it 3 times! I will also be bringing transfer paper....shhhh

My First Step



There weren't too many students so we all get a lot of attention and Tom is very entertaining w/ his stories while we are all working. There is even an eleven year old in the class! She is really a cute and cool kid.





There were a lot of other cool ideas and I can't wait to see what they will look like carved out!
Hopefully I don't cut off a finger!







Our tunes were delivered by the new addition to the studio...A JUKEBOX!

Today we got up early and headed over to the Missouri Botanical Garden to do our yearly shopping at the 2 art shows there.
First we went to the Shaw Art Fair...

Ken Larson was there with his incredible clay Ravens....he was very nice and explained to us the difference between Ravens and Crows. Ravens have a pointed tail and are larger while crows have a rounded off tail.
