FEATURED WORKSHOPS
- John Fisher is an internationally known sculptor who has lived and worked in Italy for many years. He is an exceptional figurative artist who has developed a unique carving technique known as profile carving. He will share his talents, insights and artistry. We are so fortunate to have him. Come experience the magic.
- William Pickerd is a full time, national award winning sculptor from Oregon. He will introduce his technique for turning translucent alabaster vessels on the lathe, with a focus on using the lathe as a sculpting tool. This will be primarily a demonstration of technique, but there will be opportunities to experiment and work on individual pieces.
- Rich Hestekind is a master of stone water sculpture. Silver Falls, with its abundance of moving water, is the perfect setting for this workshop celebrating the relationship between form and the animation of water. Rich will cover carving procedures and specific qualities of stone types, as well as technical info on plumbing, pumps, receptacles and maintenance. He will also demonstrate torch flaming as a technique to carve and surface stone.
- Tom Urban will demonstrate the use of all the power tools -- air hammers and grinders, electric angle and die grinders, polishers and core drills. He will also demonstrate diamond chain and ring saws, including the new brazed chains and blades.
- David Miller will make a guest appearance with a one session hand-tool carving presentation.
