Ian Norbury Workshop 2013
The British Are coming, the British are coming!
On Sept. 20 to 22, 2013, Ian Norbury and his lovely wife Betty began their US tour here at the American Woodcarving and Art School. Ten lucky students spent three intense days learning from from a true master carver. Some carved a face and others a torso, but all had a great time. Ian spent time with every student and at the end of three days all were close to being finished. Ian and Betty share all their knowledge and go above and beyond to answer all questions.
The good news is they will be back in a “fortnight” (that’s two weeks).

Rick Jensen Workshop 2013
Rick Jensen (or as we call him in NJ, (Mr. Mudd) returned for what could be his final trip to NJ. This time most carved mushroom houses, but a few carved tree houses. As usual, Rick told a million stories and occasionally taught class. Actually, Rick gives his all to be sure everyone not only leaves with a treasure but also learns something. All were delighted and amazed at how good their pieces looked. As you can see by the photo there was a lot of laughter.
Maybe, Rick will find it in his heart to return to NJ where he is always welcome.

Dennis Thornton‘s “Funny Bears”
Sunday class was a blast!
Everyone left with an almost finished “Funny Bear”
This was a relaxed one day class where fun was the key ingredient. Dennis takes the time to explain and demo each step. It’s impossible to fail.
Dennis will be back again SOON!

Kirt & Linda Curtis’ 2012 International “Standing Black Bear” Seminar
Once again Kirt & Linda treated everyone to a great class.
This year was extra special as two former students flew in from Germany and Japan. This is a testament to how much the class likes Kirt & Linda.
As usual, the most important thing was that everyone had a good time and left with a beautiful bear.

Air Brush Basics with Joyce McCullough! 2009
Students were treated to a fantastic class by one of the most amiable teachers to teach here.
Starting with a talk about the basics of airbrushing and the different equipment available to actual hands-on projects. Each student gained a knowledge of airbrushing as well as a beautiful painting. The ladies painted a rose, while the gents painted a trout or lighthouse. All left with a beaming smile.
