This is to cover their costs of sponsoring us!  The cost quoted by the sponsor does not normally include a materials fee.  We charge this fee to cover the cost of the following:

ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Carving blocks or blanks
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) A carver's goodie bag
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Finger covers
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Cleanup supplies
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Finishing supplies
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Instructional materials
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) Handouts

When making an inquiry with the sponsor, please ask about the materials fee.  The fee does change as do the costs for each class.

The participant must furnish the following:

ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) a sharp carving knife
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) sharpening and honing supplies
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) pencils (2)
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) a 6-inch ruler
ball-4.gif (1096 bytes) an open mind and willing heart!

NOTE:  Check the specific class description for other required tools and supplies.

We have stocked a few carving tools which are available on a first come basis. Because of the cost involved, we can only stock a few tools and books.  When we teach for a supplier, these are not available as the supplier is in the business to sell you something!

When we furnish the blanks for a class we bring extra blanks.  These are available to students at a phenomenal fee at the end of the class! If the sponsor furnishes the blanks, extras may or may not be available.  Talk with the sponsor about providing extra blanks.

Carving With The James River WoodCarvers Association

JRWCA LOGO.jpg (127825 bytes)

We are carving PencilPals and ToolToppers with JRWCA at their May, Saturday Seminar in Richmond, Virginia!  The half-day seminar explores basic techniques used to carve a carver's gadget. Time will not permit finishing of the project, but techniques to paint or finish the project will be covered in class.

These projects are excellent for beginner or intermediate carvers.

Selling the carvings we produce is a part of our mission.  The City Fathers will not allow us to sell from our studio, which means we have to sell our carvings at local shows and galleries.
