Steve ro n - Caricature Carving
echni ue and i
Some of you ol’ timers might remember when Steve taught
at the Congress. Back then it was more like “Come on… sit a
spell and let’s carve”. It was long before we had developed
the vast seminar experience we have now. Over the years,
Steve personally designed numerous roughouts that he offers
for sale. To add to his vast selection, he purchased Vicki and
Phil Bishop’s series of roughouts awhile back. Go to his
website www.sbrownwoodcarving.com to see the selection.
He’s going to have a lot of roughouts with him but to be sure
he has what you want, you may want to get in touch with him
at 270-871-4239 or [email protected].
Steve makes sure that you go away from the class knowing how to carve some of the more difficult
aspects of caricature carving, such as: carving facial features, hands, wrinkles in clothing, etc.
Choose from over 140 roughouts for your class projects. You could complete 2 projects in this class
depending on your experience. Painting (finishing) your project will also be covered. Paints and
finishing materials will be supplied. Roughout prices are $9.00-$65.00.
Fred Cogelo - Mule ortrait in Relief or Self ortrait if it fit
Participants will execute a 10" x 8" x 2" profile portrait of a mule from a
piece of butternut. The primary concern will be improved appreciation of
the nuances of the equine facial anatomy, though character will be
appreciated as much as accuracy. Strategy methodology will also be
emphasized. Enrollees will receive a copy of the profile in advance. They
will be free to modify the study for a more impressionistic or caricaturized
result, if desired, or to downsize the portriat slightly, to increase options for
a background composition. Background composition, e.g., presence of a
barn, shed or person, will be entirely up to the participant, and completion of
such will be of secondary concern within the framework of the seminar.
The instructor is getting old, and will limit his actual carving to work upon sample pieces. Bring: a decent
range of conventional carving tools. shortbent gouges are particularly well-suited for mezzo-relief. Also a
power drill with a sharp 5 8" (or close) forstner bit. Extra-lighting is generally advantageous, as will be a
compass, and some sort of anti-fatigue mat. Instructor presumes the class will have use of the Burke-type
carving stands, check with instructor before bringing your own ([email protected]).

Terry Brasher - Carving a Wood irit in utternut
on’t miss this chance to take a class with Terry… it is the last one on her schedule
Learn her steps to create a woodspirit while tapping into your imagination and
creativity. Blanks will be prepared to more depth than she normally offers, to allow
more time to carve all the flowing hair. There will still be plenty of wood to allow the
student to develop a one-of-a-kind sculpture. Project size is best carved using mallet
and large full size gouges. Carving technique, composition, facial structure, and
development of character will be strongly emphasized. The butternut blank will be
about 14" long and cost is estimated to be $30 -. All levels welcome.
Examples of Terry’s work can be viewed on her website:
.carving forchri t.com and on her
Facebook Page: www.facebook.com CarvingsByTerryBrasher. Contact Terry at 931-732-4531 or by
email at [email protected]
